Juneteenth Jubilee Celebrations

Since our inception in 2019, Juneteenth Jubilee Detroit has been at the forefront of commemorating Juneteenth in Detroit through Education, Activation, and Celebration. In 2019, we collaborated with the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History to host the Juneteenth Jubilee Block Party and Afterglow Benefit, drawing over 2,500 attendees. Despite the challenges of 2020, we adapted by hosting Juneteenth Jubilee Live, a virtual event that engaged thousands of viewers. In 2021, we organized the Juneteenth Jubilee Stroll along Livernois Ave, attracting 4,000 participants and featuring various activities and commemorations. Building on this success, we expanded to a three-day family-friendly weekend in 2022, 2023, and 2024, offering events dedicated to artistic expression and small businesses.

All Juneteenth Jubilee events incorporate dedicated elements that increase community awareness and provide valuable resources around health, wealth, and education. With the support of local partners, our events have served over 40,000 people, solidifying Juneteenth Jubilee Detroit as a cornerstone of Juneteenth celebrations in our community. We have been blessed to collaborate with so many prominent partners over the past six years, including the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Motown Museum, Detroit is Different, Michigan Black Business Association, Black Leaders Detroit, Eastern Market Conservancy, and Livernois Business Association, among many more. Their support has been instrumental in expanding our impact and fostering a stronger, more informed, and empowered community.

In recognition of our dedication to culture, education, and economic empowerment, Juneteenth Jubilee Detroit is honored to be a Spirit of Detroit award winner, a testament to the lasting impact of our work in the city.
