A soul food festival is heading to Power Plant Live, promising a day built around food, music and community for Baltimore. The event is listed for Nov. 14, 2026, and organizers are advertising soul-food and retail vendors, R&B karaoke, a main-stage DJ, a live Go-Go band and best-of-category awards.
The festival description comes straight from the venue itself, which says the Baltimore Soul Food Festival brings a day of food, music and community to Power Plant Live. The listing describes guests enjoying soul food and retail vendors alongside the entertainment lineup. As FOX45 News reported, the festival is expected to center on classic soul food favorites.
Doors, VIP Perks and Age Rules
The event is open to all ages, with general-admission doors opening at noon, per the venue's listing. VIP guests get in an hour earlier, at 11 a.m., and their ticket includes a buffet and a two-hour all-inclusive beverage package running from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., an hour after general-admission doors open. Anyone looking to drink will need to be 21 or older with valid identification, while kids 12 and under get in free as long as they're with a parent or legal guardian.
Parking is also part of the planning. A separate event listing on Partiful notes $5 parking validations will be provided for the 13 S. Frederick Street and Pier V garages, a detail aimed at easing the usual downtown parking headache for festivalgoers.
Ticket Availability
AXS labels the event “Limited Availability.” A listing on AXS places the event on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, at 11 a.m. at Power Plant Live in Baltimore, open to all ages — though that date detail carries lower confidence than the venue's own event page.
Whether it's the promise of a live Go-Go band, the karaoke stage, or just the chance to sample soul food from multiple vendors under one roof, the festival is shaping up as a full day of programming rather than a quick pop-up. With best-of-category awards also on the schedule, organizers appear to be building in a competitive element around the food itself, on top of the music and vendor booths already confirmed for the day.
