Get ready for an unforgettable celebration of culture, community, and freedom. Join us for the 6th Annual Newton Juneteenth Celebration—a vibrant, high-energy event with a brand-new format that now includes a live concert and movie screening!

This year we reject division and instead embrace “JOYFUL RESISTANCE!” Together, let's uplift the value and richness of African-American culture and Black Excellence. All residents and visitors are welcome to help celebrate 161 years since the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Enjoy a high-energy, culturally relevant concert from 6PM to 8PM, followed by a family movie under the stars.

Starting at 3PM, you can look forward to:
🎤 A party atmosphere hosted by DJ Firestarta
🎶 Live performances that move your spirit
🛍️ Unique finds sold by local artisans & craft vendors
🍴 Two food trucks serving up delicious Caribbean flavors: Reggae Food and Gourmet Kreyol
🎤 A Summer Concert Series event featuring hip-hop cover band sensation The GRV from 6-8 PM. Their passion for music and a diverse set list spanning pop, rock, soul, funk, R&B, Hip Hop, Top 40 and favorites from every era will keep the celebration going
🎬 Close out the day and stretch out under the summer sky for an 8PM screening of Black Panther, the critically acclaimed box office hit—one of the highest-grossing films of all time—that defines Black Excellence.

Bring your friends, your family, and your joy—this is more than an event, it’s a celebration of resilience, unity, and community pride. Follow the evolving event details on Eventbrite or Facebook, and please help spread the word far and wide!
