Experience the Magic of Rhythm & Roses

More Than a Festival—A Community in Bloom

For 12 years, the Dysonna Gospel, Soul & Blues Arts Festival has been a sanctuary for creativity and a lighthouse for the Los Angeles community. This isn’t just another Sunday in the park; it is a movement. What began as a local gathering has blossomed into a premier cultural event where faith, fashion, and melody intersect to heal and inspire.

When you join us for “Rhythm & Roses: A Gospel Soul Garden Experience,” you aren't just a spectator—you are a partner in a legacy of love.

A portion of every ticket and sponsorship goes toward scholarships and mentorship programs for emerging artists, ensuring that the next generation of creative voices has the resources they need to thrive. Your attendance is an investment in our community’s cultural heartbeat.

The 2026 Garden Experience

Step into the breathtaking Exposition Park Rose Garden and immerse yourself in a full-day sensory journey:

• The Soundtrack of the Soul: Feel the power of 40 group choir, featuring the legendary Brent Jones & Dynamic Choir, David Daughtry Group Performance , SCMW Music Ministry 20 group choir, and the smooth sounds of the Mahesh Balasooriya Trio. From the grit of Don Littleton "The Blues Collective" to soaring gospel praises, the music will move you.

• Couture in the Garden: Witness our signature presentation, “The Gospel of Romance – Silhouettes in Bloom.” This isn't just a fashion show; it’s a theatrical story told through flowing gowns and statement hats, where Paris-style elegance meets the spirit of the garden.

• Live Art & Discovery: Wander through live art installations and an artisanal marketplace featuring local vendors, cultural treasures, and flavors from the city.
