Juneteenth at NAAM is a powerful reminder of what it means to honor the past while gathering in the present through joy, creativity, movement, and community. Centered around this year’s theme, The Sound of Connection, our 2026 Juneteenth Celebration invites people of all ages to come together for a day rooted in rhythm, reflection, expression, and unity.

From vibrant programs across the Museum and Judkins Park to the return of our beloved Skate to Freedom Party, this year’s celebration will feature local artists, Community Conversations, hands-on family activities, Living Voices performances, a FIFA World Cup watch party, local organizations, small businesses, food vendors, sports activations, and more.

Through art, storytelling, wellness, education, and celebration, we honor the legacy of Juneteenth while creating space for renewal, belonging, and collective joy.

Thank you to our incredible sponsors, partners, artists, vendors, and community supporters for helping bring this vision to life. Stay tuned for more updates as we count down to June 19th.
