A Juneteenth Gathering

Experience this special Juneteenth Gathering at Christine Emerson Reed Park, for an evening of music, film, and the healing arts. This event is free and all are welcome. Recommended for ages 12 & up.

This curated space is designed to center rest and communal spaces, as a form of resistance, liberation, and medicine, honoring the past, while nurturing our own well-being.

Experience Sound Immersion with Onyi Love, get a card reading from Sanyu Estelle, listen to DJ sets from Black Girls Love Vinyl, and a Music & Sounds performance by Linafornia.

Take part in Casted Frequencies, an art workshop with Camera Obscura Artist in Residence London James, reimagining sneakers as artifacts through her brand, Porcelain Sneakerhead. Ages 12 and up. Space is limited.

Enjoy a screening of BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions, a 2025 feature-length cinematic art installation and film directed by Kahlil Joseph.

Purchase Jamaican patties at the The Patty Wagon or a glass of wine Offhand Wine Bar's 21+ pop-up bar garden.

Info: Sound as Medicine. Vibration as Portal. Enter a sacred space where sound opens pathways to healing, remembrance, and deep inner alignment. Experience the transformative power of voice, vibration, and elemental frequencies to nourish your whole being. Held within a high-resonance container, Sound Immersion is a sonic sanctuary where Onyi's voice, honed through over 20 years as a trained musician, vocalist, and performing artist, weaves with elemental tones, sacred instruments, and intuitive frequencies to create immersive soundscapes that move through the body and beyond. This is not background music or ambient tone. It is a living, practiced, spirit-led sonic art, offered by a healer who is also a musician in the fullest sense of the word. We recommend folks dress in and/or bring whatever they feel will support their comfort for the experience--yoga mat, blanket, or portable floor chair., etc.
