Support Soufest 2026 – Starring R&B Legends Glenn Jones and Cherrelle

Powering Community Through Music, Arts & Opportunity

For the past 13 years, Soufest has been much more than just a festival—

It's a place where music, culture, art, and resources come together to uplift, connect, and inspire.

Now, we’re preparing for Soufest 2026, and we need your help to make it bigger, better, and even more impactful.

We’re raising $10,000 over the next 4 months to bring this vision to life.

Why Soufest Matters

Soufest isn’t just a one-day event. It’s a platform.

It creates space for:

Local artists and performers to shine

Families to gather in a safe, vibrant environment

Community organizations to connect people with real resources

Youth to experience culture, creativity, and possibility

And beyond the festival…

Soufest helps fund year-round programs that continue this work—supporting education, outreach, and opportunities that strengthen the community long after the music stops.

Your donation helps cover:

Stage, sound, and production

Artist bookings and local talent support

Permits, security, and logistics

Youth and community programming tied to the event

Free or accessible experiences for families

Be Part of Something Bigger

This is about more than a festival.

It’s about investing in a movement that celebrates culture, builds connections, and creates real impact in Waterbury.

Every dollar moves us closer.

Whether you give $10 or $1,000—you’re helping keep this tradition alive and growing.

Donate. Share. Show Love.

Let’s make Soufest 2026 unforgettable—and make sure its impact lasts all year long.
