Soul & Sangria

Boston’s signature summer celebration of culture, creativity, and community.

More than events. We create belonging.

Soul & Sangria is an elevated day-to-night experience where Black joy, small business, and style take center stage. Sip handcrafted sangrias, savor curated bites, shop a vendor marketplace, and move to live bands and top DJs.

It’s a platform for connection, commerce, and culture. Come for the vibe. Stay for the impact.

Celebration with a cause.

Every edition includes a nonprofit partner, and a portion of every ticket goes directly to their work. Our 2025 partner was Beyond Nursing Experience Inc., a Black woman-founded 501(c)(3) supporting nurses through mental wellness, financial empowerment, and career development.
