I AM JUNETEENTH GALA

Kick off a historic weekend in unforgettable fashion at the I AM JUNETEENTH GALA, taking place Friday, June 19, 2026 from 5:30 PM – 9:00 PM in the heart of the Five Points Plaza in Denver. Stay for the Southern Soul Kickoff Party immediately following the Gala. As the official opening celebration of the 2026 Juneteenth Music Festival, this signature evening serves as a powerful fundraiser for JMF Corporation—the 501(c)(3) organization that has proudly led and grown this cultural celebration for the past 15 years.

Guests will step into a fully transformed plaza, reimagined as an immersive, upscale gala experience. Expect elegant tents, dynamic lighting, beautifully designed table settings, interactive art installations, curated photo backdrops, and a live performance stage that sets the tone for an enchanting night under the Denver sky.

The evening delivers a premium, all-inclusive experience. Your ticket grants access to a full dinner, open bar, live band entertainment, a 360 photo booth, and more—creating moments designed to celebrate culture, community, and legacy in style.

The I AM JUNETEENTH GALA brings together the “who’s who” of Denver—community leaders, creatives, entrepreneurs, and changemakers—all united in honoring the impact and evolution of the Juneteenth Music Festival. More than just a celebration, this is a call to action—an opportunity to invest in the future of one of the nation’s most dynamic Juneteenth celebrations and support the ongoing work of JMF Corporation.

Come dressed to impress, ready to celebrate, and inspired to give. This is where culture, legacy, and community rise together.
