Join us for a day of celebration and reflection at the Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum for the Annual Juneteenth Celebration on Wednesday, June 19, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This free event is open to the public and welcomes families of all ages to honor the present and reflect on our shared traditions and history.
Hosted by BeMo Brown, and featuring sounds all day by Ebb King, the Juneteenth Main Stage will feature a lineup of all incredible DC Metropolitan Area performances, including the soulful Dupont Brass, R&B singer Alex Vaughn, the entertaining band Too Much Talent, and hip-hop artist Noochie. DJ Cuzzin B will also spin a set. There’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Visitors are encouraged to explore our latest exhibition, “A Bold and Beautiful Vision: A Century of Black Arts Education in Washington, D.C., 1900-2000.” This exhibit highlights the educators and students who have made significant contributions to Black arts education in the nation’s capital.
