It’s a day bursting with delicious eats and a whole lotta community spirit. Save the date and come hungry for a feast of flavors and good times! 

The MLK Food Park began as a collaborative effort between Better Block and DRBTS (Do Right By The Streets) provides South Dallas residents the opportunity to connect with local businesses with a place to gather, have fellowship. This place has allowed the community to be represented in a way that lets them be seen, valued, and to exist as themselves without being outcasted. For this event, Desiree “Dee” Powell of DRBTS partnered with Shekinah Legacy Holdings, LLC and Dallas Weekly. Scottie Smith, Founder of Shekinah Legacy Holdings, LLC showed his support of the October event by use of his property’s parking lot. 

“I have and will continue to be a South Dallas advocate, which includes supporting any initiatives that have a direct positive impact on the community. I have seen Dee successfully execute these food parks and I was happy to support her by use of the Save-A-Lot property” – Scottie Smith. 

The Dallas Weekly’s partnership with DRBTS is not only media sponsorship but a collaboration for their annual Best of Black Dallas Campaign. The Best of Black Dallas is an annual voting campaign and awards ceremony celebrating Black businesses and Black professionals in the DFW metroplex. All the vendors that register for the food park will automatically be entered as a nominee for the 5th annual Best of Black Dallas Awards. 

The Sunny South Dallas Food Park is more than just an event—it’s a celebration of community, culture, and culinary excellence. Mark your calendars for October 19th from 10am – 3pm and come join the fun at the Save-A-Lot parking lot on MLK Jr. Blvd. Whether you’re a foodie, or simply looking for a great way to spend a Saturday, this event is sure to offer something special for everyone.
