JSAAHC and the African American Pastors Council come together to create a harvest festival to be held on September 9 from 11am to 3pm on the front yard of the Heritage Center.

Replacing the Greens Cook Off, this festival combines local Black farmers and local cooks for a truly farm to table experience judged by the community.

Entry fee for the festival is $10, which gives you chips to vote for your favorite cook. Just as in previous years, the entry fees will be used as prize money for the community favorite in each category.
