2026 Soul Picnic

Mark your calendar for an evening celebration of food, music, and community at Haven Farm in Knightdale. The Soul Picnic runs from 3 to 10 p.m., giving families and friends plenty of time to settle in and enjoy the festivities. Gates open early at 3 p.m. so you can claim your spot and decorate your space—bring blankets and lawn chairs to get comfortable. Entertainment kicks off at 5 p.m. with DJs, live performances, food trucks, and local vendors spread throughout the grounds. This is an adults-only event for ages 21 and up, so plan accordingly if you're looking for a grown-up night out. You'll find wine, food, games, and a relaxed outdoor atmosphere perfect for a long summer evening. Hard coolers and outside alcohol aren't permitted, but the venue will have options available. A $5 parking fee is included with your ticket. Keep in mind that pets aren't allowed, and refunds aren't available once purchased.
