Sunderland Soul Food and Music Festival A celebration of food and drink will be back with a bang this year, not least because Sunderland will be getting two festivals in one! Sunderland Vibe brings you the latest on the brand new city-wide celebration taking place this summer…
10 - 12 June
The city will be enjoying three days of fun and feasting with the all-new Soul Food and Music Festival, which runs from 10-12 June this summer. Souled Out will take place at the former Vaux site and across the festival visitors can enjoy performances from headliners The King Cush Band, Voices of Virtue, Groove Train and Smoove and Turrell. They will also be treated to a range of specialised street food vendors – chosen by Hairy Biker, Si King - including Scream For Pizza, Dosa Kitchen, burger specialists One Dining and Nan Bei, who sell Chinese dumplings, with more operators about to be confirmed. While the Souled Out Festival will be a ticketed event, the Soul Food and Music Festival will offer a smorgasbord of free delights at Keel Square, including family entertainment, local buskers and a street food market featuring incredible edibles from around the world. Fitness enthusiasts are also well catered for, as organisers have ensured that there will be plenty of opportunities to feast on healthy superfoods with food stalls
offering vegan, vegetarian, and organic produce throughout. After all that eating and drinking, you might feel like taking a spot of exercise but do not fear as you’ll be able to get the blood pumping with a range of family-friendly activities. Add into the mix cooking demonstrations, a kids club and a range of walkabout characters, the event looks like a recipe for a brilliant time!
