SOKO Place Festival is a free annual one-day festival that aims to 1.) establish an outdoor marketplace uplifting cooperative economics. 2.) strengthen the Springfield and Clark County region through arts and culture, and 3.) unite residents to celebrate and patronize local and regional black businesses. More than a festival, SOKO Place is a cultural education and awareness tool developed to establish and maintain a local black business economy.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Kahawa House Coffee was born out of the desire of the members of Covenant United Methodist Church to combine missions and coffee and simultaneously bring attention to the culture and origin of coffee. Kahawa House Coffee is a bridge for the collaborative effort of building economic independence among the African diaspora and creating a social enterprise that creates jobs for those in the Springfield and Clark County region. As Africa is the birthplace of coffee, we aim to curate and source the best coffee from the continent focusing on East Africa and part of the Caribbean.
