Boston Art & Music Soul Festival

Get ready to groove when the Boston Art & Music Soul Festival transforms Franklin Park’s Playstead Field into an immersive, all-day celebration of black arts and entertainment, with 21 artists lighting up two stages and filling
the summer air with the sounds of soul, R&B and funk. Eighteen of the lineup’s artists hail from the area—including STL GLD, Latrell James and Oompa—while South Africa’s percussion and brass music makers African Rhythm make their U.S. debut before the headlining set by Philadelphia outfit Kindred the Family Soul. Savor the sounds at this free festival on June 23 at Franklin Park.  / Nathan Tavares
