Feed The Soul Blues Fest: Music, Community, and Purpose
The Feed The Soul Blues Fest is born out of a simple, powerful belief: that great music has the power to heal, connect, and sustain us. Taking over the historic Benicia City Park, this full-day community gathering brings together the rich, raw, and comforting sounds of authentic blues music with a tangible mission to look out for our neighbors.
Our mission is two-fold: to feed the souls of our community with live, impactful music that stirs the heart, while simultaneously feeding those in need by stocking our local food bank. In a world that can often feel disconnected, we are stepping outside our walls to create a space where good music meets local generosity. Whether you are a deep-rooted blues enthusiast or simply looking to spend a beautiful day in the park with family, this festival is designed to leave you inspired, connected, and completely filled. Come out to hear the music, support local creators, and help us ensure that no one in our community goes hungry.
The Main Stage: Featuring The Old Souls
The Old Souls will bring their raw energy and deeply moving, traditional blues catalog to the Benicia City Park Gazebo stage throughout the day. Their soaring guitar licks and foot-stomping rhythms provide a continuous, soulful soundtrack from gates open to close.
The Marketplace: Empowering Local Vendors
Our marketplace is dedicated entirely to showcasing small regional businesses, food trucks, and hand-crafted goods. We keep 0% of vendor sales—every dollar you spend directly supports local entrepreneurs and keeps our regional economy thriving.
The Drive: Feeding Our Community
Every single item and dollar collected at our festival food drive goes 100% directly to our local food bank, instantly turning your cash and non-perishable donations into meals for families right here in our neighborhood. By keeping all contributions entirely local, your generosity directly impacts, sustains, and strengthens our immediate community.
