ABOUT THE FESTIVAL:

“Every year since June 19th, 1865, the Black community has come together in the spirit of freedom. A freedom that still prevails despite systemic threats to existence. Forty years ago Robert Leonard began the tradition of Juneteenth in Leimert Park Village. Since then, it has continued to be celebrated in varying ways. ​

In 2018, a few dedicated creatives came together to put on the first ever Leimert Park Rising: Juneteenth Celebration. True to the essence of Leimert Park, this event celebrated Black freedom by honoring the ancestors and our community through art, music, food and education.

Leimert Park Juneteenth Festival is located in the historic Leimert Park Village featuring 300+ Black-owned businesses, three main stages, two DJ's stages, a spoken word stage and more. It is not just a market, but a curated experience featuring great food, drinks, music, art and culture, networking opportunities, and the best energy.”
