SpokenSoul Festival
The Spoken Soul Festival is a 3 day arts and culture festival which is rooted in drawing from the Black Experience and its contribution to the arts in Canada and beyond.
The festival aims to platform mid-career artists in the genres of spoken word poetry and soul music while promoting these underrepresented art forms within the Canadian landscape. The festival offers an array of events from showcases, professional workshops for artists, networking and evening parties - with an event for all ages.
