The sixth annual Boston Art & Music Soul Festival felt like a homecoming — a gathering of old friends and family members coming together to celebrate their community, WBUR's Maddie Browning reviews.

Friends sprinted across the field to embrace each other, strangers competed in skilled dance battles and children hit small tambourines to the beat of the music.

The R&B, funk, soul, hip-hop and house music festival showcasing local and national Black and brown artists took place at the Franklin Park Playstead on Saturday, June 29 and Sunday, June 30. BAMS Festas a “cultural movement led by Greater Boston Black and Brown artists, culture makers and creative entrepreneurs who are on the front lines of racial equity, spatial justice, and economic empowerment.”I attended the festival on Saturday.

For lunch, I headed to Soul Food Row, which was mildly disappointing. I expected a long procession of food trucks, but there were only six vendors — Nan Xiang Express, Trolley Dogs & Craft Lemonade, Gourmet Kreyòl, Exodus Bagels, Richie’s Italian Ice, and Tipping Cow Ice Cream. Haitian food truckhad the longest line, so I knew it would be good.
