River City Soul Fest started in 1999 in hopes of providing a unique event that celebrates African-American culture and heritage through Gospel and R&B music. Heading into its 20th year on the RiverFront, River City Soul Fest has established itself as a premier cultural event in Central Illinois and we aim to uphold its strong tradition.
As partners in bringing the River City Soul Fest to the RiverFront, the Peoria Park District and Inked Entertainment are excited to announce that the headlining artists for Saturday night of the 2018 Soul Fest will be Ja Rule and Ashanti!
