Los Angeles (myFOXla.com) - Thousands came out for the fourth annual Taste of Soul Food and Music Festival on Crenshaw Boulevard on Saturday.
From the food to the music to the crowds... this was Taste of Soul's biggest year ever.
Billed as Los Angeles' largest street festival, Taste of Soul takes place on Crenshaw between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Rodeo Boulevard and plays host to over 100,000 attendees from all over the Los Angeles area and beyond.
"This is really an event for the people," Taste of Soul founder Danny Backwell, Sr. told FOX 11 News. "This is an opportunity for us to come out, enjoy our own community, socialize with each other, and do something positive in our community."
Good Day LA's Steve Edwards, Jillian Reynolds and Dorothy Lucey were among the folks who did just that.
"The turnout is terrific," Steve said about the event. "We've had such a good time. Even the three of us have gotten along. It's that good!"
