About the Event
The Treasure Valley's first soul food farm festival.
One Labor Day weekend. One farm. Five hundred seats at the table. Harvest Soul Fest is an exclusive pre-season experience at Shindig Farms — thrown open for a single day before their fall season begins.
Bring the whole family. Kids run the field, elders hold court under string lights, and the smoke never stops rising. This is a cookout scaled to a festival — and shrunk back down to feel like home.
