What’s Juneteenth?
Commemorated in cities across the nation and around the world, June 19th, 1865, is a cultural event celebrated to mark the ending of slavery and the beginning of African American independence in the United States.
Our Virtual Freedom Day Celebration
The 2020 Juneteenth Music Festival invites all to join, online, for a positive, educational and entertaining day celebrating African American history and the mission to make Juneteenth a national holiday.
Our scheduled program, on June 18th, will feature our sixth annual DREAM BIG Awards highlighting individuals who have made a positive impact in our community. In between awardee interviews we will feature musical performances, live podcasts, a virtual cypher, virtual dance competition, comedy, financial literacy segments, and more.
To continue our celebration, on June 19th, we turn the celebration back to the community by asking attendees to commemorate the holiday by sharing what they've learned about Juneteenth with our #IamJuneteenth Awareness Campaign.
This year’s platform is a national stage for musicians, artists, and individuals of many genres and industries to celebrate the importance of art, storytelling, and inclusion.
