Black Yacht Weekend 2026: Juneteenth Kickoff Party w/ ODeal

Join us at Vertiport Chicago for the official Juneteenth Kickoff Party for Black Yacht Weekend 2026, bringing together culture, music, and community to launch one of the most anticipated weekends of the summer.

This is not just a party—this is the moment everything begins.

Step into a fully transformed Vertiport space featuring:

• Live performances from Mannie Fresh and Odeal
• High-energy DJ sets throughout the night
• Food vendors available onsite
• Indoor + outdoor event flow
• Elevated crowd, curated energy

Expect a powerful blend of hip-hop, R&B, Afrobeats, and global sounds that set the tone for the entire weekend.

Juneteenth is about freedom, culture, and legacy.

Black Yacht Weekend is about connection, elevation, and experience.

This kickoff brings both together—creating a space where celebration meets purpose, and where thousands come together to start the weekend as one.
