A Day of Music, Culture & Community

See what’s happening at our Juneteenth Celebration!

This year’s Juneteenth event brings an incredible lineup of vendors, artists, and performers, creating a vibrant celebration of culture and community. The Chuck Starr Band will set the stage with high-energy R&B, pop, and rock, while GOREE delivers the powerful rhythms of traditional West African drumming and dance. Visual artist MahLeah Cochran will showcase her stunning works that explore nature, humanity, and global connections. Stroll through Vendor Village to support local businesses, explore the education area to learn more about the significance of Juneteenth, and enjoy delicious offerings from a variety of food trucks.

More coming soon!
