Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, resilience, culture, and community.

Today, we honor the generations who fought for freedom and those who continue building a future rooted in equity, opportunity, and belonging.

If you’re looking for ways to celebrate, connect, learn, or simply be in community, we’ve gathered several Juneteenth events happening throughout Indianapolis.

Whether you’re attending a festival, supporting Black-owned businesses, enjoying live music, or learning more about the history behind Juneteenth, we hope you’ll take time to reflect, celebrate, and show up for one another.

Happy Juneteenth! ❤️🖤💚
