The Juneteenth Freedom Festival fosters an inclusive environment that unites communities from diverse cultures and backgrounds across West Michigan for a shared celebration. Our goal is to inspire joy, cultivate meaningful connections, and provide opportunities for continued learning and growth as we open our hearts to a brighter future. The theme of this year’s festival is “I AM Love,” which will:
Showcase I AM Academy students and local Black talent
Offer a variety of family-friendly activities
Introduce community members to a wide range of services available in West Michigan
Support small Black-owned businesses through opportunities for shopping, dining, and entertainment
Over 10,000 attendees have joined us for this festival – you won’t want to miss what we’re cooking up for year five!!
