The Tubman Museum is excited to host an “All-You-Can-Eat” culinary experience – one that will tantalize taste buds and showcase global cuisine – during International Taste of Soul 2016 at the museum on Sunday, August 28, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m.

This annual fundraising event, which celebrates the diversity of the community and raises awareness of international cultures, is a journey that fulfills the museum’s mission in an environment that brings people together through the common bonds of food and dance. Many local businesses and organizations participate in this event that focuses on all types of cuisine from around the world.

This year, museum guests will have an opportunity to sample dishes by Chef Michael Davis, certified culinarian and personal chef, and many local celebrity chefs who will present a wide array of international cuisine and comfort food from various cultures. Cuisine from such countries as Nigeria, Jamaica, Italy, China, Tanzania, Japan, India and Ireland, as well as more familiar items like traditional American soul food, will be featured at the event.

Guests will enjoy cooking demonstrations by Chef Michael and be entertained by live cultural dance performances by KHicks Contemporary Ballroom Dancing, Paula East Studios and Hayiya Dance Theatre.

Corporate sponsors for this year’s International Taste of Soul include Publix, The Telegraph, Cox Communications, 13WMAZ-TV, iHeart Media, Urban Radio Alliance and Macon Black Pages.
