FREEDOM!
A JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION

CELEBRATE JUNETEENTH IN BOSTON!

 

Join us for our annual Juneteenth Open House at the MAAH Boston Site – FREE to all visitors. Festivities start at 10am with the raising of the Juneteenth flag.

Joy Street is coming alive from Myrtle Street to Cambridge Street! Join us this Juneteenth from 10AM-5PM for an all-day celebration of freedom, culture, and Black joy with a day of festivities at MAAH!

Get ready for a day filled with hands-on art workshops where creativity becomes a shared experience, powerful music & poetry performances that echo throughout the whole block, and a vendor fair of local artists who keep the community thriving.

Come fill the block. Come feel the rhythm. Be part of the legacy unfolding in real time.

Thank you to our sponsors of this year’s Juneteenth Block Party, The Red Sox Foundation, National Park Service, the City of Boston Equity & Inclusion Cabinet, and the Boston Globe, for standing with us in our commitment to uplifting Black history & culture.
