The Cookout - Homecoming

The Cookout

Join us for an unforgettable evening at the 2026 Cookout, hosted by the South City Foundation, on Friday, September 11, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Columbia Gardens.

This year's Homecoming-themed celebration will bring neighbors, partners, legacy residents and community champions together for an evening of great food, live entertainment, and inspiring stories as we recognize individuals whose leadership and commitment have made a lasting impact in South City.

Guests will enjoy delicious food from four unique meal stations, live entertainment, family-friendly activities, and a celebration of the people and partnerships helping build a stronger future for South City. The evening also serves as an opportunity to support the South City Foundation's mission of resident-centered neighborhood revitalization through investments in mixed-income housing, educational opportunities, economic vitality, and community well-being.

The event is free and open to the public to enjoy the music and presentations. Event tickets include four (4) meal tickets, redeemable at four different meal stations, and two (2) adult drink tickets. Soft drinks and water will also be available.

We look forward to welcoming you home for an evening of celebration, connection, and community impact.
