Juneteenth celebrations at Emancipation Park carry deep historical and cultural significance for Houston. As one of the city’s most important historic gathering spaces, the park continues to bring the community together to celebrate freedom, culture and connection.

Kinder Foundation is proud to support Emancipation Park and the new stage that will host this year’s celebration. We encourage the community to join this special event and honor the legacy of Juneteenth in the place where that history continues to live on.

You're seeing it here first, H-Town! We've got the hottest lineup for Juneteenth 🎵! Come help us celebrate this inaugural concert on our brand new state-of-the-art stage, courtesy of the Kinder Foundation
