4th Annual Soul of 2nd Street Festival
Mark your calendars for the
4th Annual Soul of 2nd Street Festival. This community favorite event is an opportunity to celebrate our diversity as we gather to celebrate the once vibrant African-American business district that stood on 2nd Street through great music, food, and drinks. The date is Saturday,
August 4 at
Constitution Square in downtown Danville. For all updates, like our
Facebook event page!
For the 4th Annual event, the festival planning committee has decided to continue with the focus of a community event, by inviting not just food vendors but also local artists, makers of wares and local businesses to come and showcase their products, goods and services during the festival.
Festival hours will be from 4pm-10pm on Saturday, August 4 with a special art exhibition beginning at 2pm.
