2nd Annual Soul & Flavor Food Truck Fest
Presented by Discover Black Savannah
Soul & Flavor Food Truck Festival Returns to Savannahโs Eastern Wharf This September
Get ready, Savannah. On Saturday, September 6, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the 2nd Annual Soul & Flavor Food Truck Fest returns to Eastern Wharf for a full day of food, music, and culture that highlights Black-owned businesses and brings the community together in the heart of the city.
Hosted by Discover Black Savannah, this yearโs festival promises an even more vibrant experience than its debut in 2024. With more food trucks, expanded vendor markets, and live local entertainment, Soul & Flavor is quickly becoming one of Savannahโs signature cultural events.
What to Expect
This is not just another food eventโitโs a celebration of identity, flavor, and creative entrepreneurship in the Lowcountry. Attendees can expect over 20 local and regional food trucks offering everything from Southern classics and Afro-Caribbean flavors to vegan soul food and dessert specials. Each truck is hand-selected for quality, representation, and uniqueness.
In addition to food, the festival will feature live DJs, local musicians, spoken word artists, and dance crews throughout the day. Youโll also find curated vendor booths with Black-owned retail, natural skincare, art, books, and handmade goodsโall in one vibrant marketplace just steps away from the Savannah River.
