We are so ready to celebrate with you all this Friday, June 19th! Because our community's spirit can’t be dampened, the Juneteenth Jubilee is a rain or shine event.

While we’re planning for a beautiful day of music, culture, and community, safety is always our absolute number one priority. We’re keeping a close eye on the skies, and we have a quick safety policy in place just in case Mother Nature wants to join the party:

⚡ Safety First: If lightning strikes within our area, the stage performances will be paused for 20 minutes.
🕺 The Party Won't Stop: As soon as the all-clear is given, we will get right back to the music, the vibes, and the celebration!

Grab your umbrellas or your sunglasses (or both!), bring your positive energy, and let’s make this an unforgettable Juneteenth together! See you there!
