The inaugural cookout landed in the Big Peach (Atlanta, GA), drawing a crowd of over 2000 attendees. Year two SSC traveled to Chocolate City (Washington, D.C.) with an even bigger turnout. Featuring Black-owned businesses, an array of talented DJs, lively soul train lines, a VIP section, exciting prizes and giveaways, food trucks, and even a mechanical bull--the cookout is always buzzing with vibrant energy, leaving no room for disappointment.
