Join us for our 5th annual So Much Fest!
During the first three years, local artists generously volunteered their talents to enchant us with a musical medley spanning various genres. Since last year, this initiative has grown but continues to commemorate the life of Soheil Mojarrad and other victims of police violence in Raleigh and beyond.
Soheil meant so much to many people of all walks of life. Let us strive to prevent further tragedies at the hands of those entrusted to protect us.
We extend an invitation to delve deeper into the origins and significance of this event, as well as our commitment to organizing future gatherings that raise awareness and foster community unity, all while honoring Soheil’s memory through music and dance.
Remember this is a free event! Donations are accepted at the welcome tent, or through CashApp, Venmo or PayPal. *donation details are on the brochure listed further down the page
