Something about the atmosphere felt like a shift is already happening in Addis’ creative space… so where does it go from here?

Rain or shine, Smoke n’ Soul Mini BBQ Fest brought people together at Ethio-Korea Veterans Memorial Park this past Sunday.
Even with the unexpected weather, everyone still came through for an afternoon of good food, music, and community. Delicious Flavor of Vibe BBQ and Kesel Steak House kept everyone fed, while Tihut and DJ Familia kept the music going throughout the day.
We hope everyone enjoyed the sangria, picnic mats, and the experience despite the weather. Thanks to everyone who came and helped make it a memorable day.
