This Juneteenth, we ride.
Inspired by the legacy of Black cowboys, Beyoncé’s reclamation of country music, and East Palo Alto’s roots—a historically Black city formed through resistance, resilience, and radical joy—Soul Box Supper Club invites you to a soulful, sensory journey through the flavors of Black liberation.
Salt. Soil. Soul. From dirt roads to denim dreams, we’ll gather to honor the land worked, the culture preserved, and the joy Black people never stopped singing.
If you’re a Beyhive believer, culture-keeper, storyteller, land steward, foodie, or freedom dreamer—this night is for you.
Bring your denim, your appetite, and your reverence for this intimate, 25-seat immersive dinner experience.
- 5-6 pm: The Saloon: Cocktail Hour Activations
Enjoy an immersive hour of fun, connection, and soulful vibes before dinner. Experience curated, spirited drinks at the Greenwood to Parkwood Bar. Pen your letter to the land at the Blackbiird Altar, a sacred space to write notes to ancestors, elders, or your younger self. Sit with intention for a portrait captured by Rough Thesis—a visual keepsake from the night. Feeling bold and brave? Test your mettle on the mechanical bucking bull.DJ Black Woman will spin throughout the night, blending Cowboy Carter influences with a soulful mix of vibes from the diaspora.

Each course is paired with a conversation card, a lyrical prompt rooted in Juneteenth legacy, Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” lyrics, and local history. Let your stories rise as your plate is filled.We’ll raise our glasses for a mid-meal toast: “To the ones who kept riding, even when the road wasn’t built for them.”
