Join Southfield Parks & Recreation at the Juneteenth Jubilee for a vibrant celebration of community and unity, featuring live music, local vendors, food trucks, spoken word, family activities, and dancing! Let's honor freedom and heritage together!This grand celebration, taking place on Sunday, June 16 (Father's Day!) is filled with engaging activities for all ages, embodying the joy and resilience of our community.
Start the afternoon by honoring the heroes in your life and the enduring spirit of Juneteenth. Walk with Your Hero will begin at 3 pm on the Municipal Campus front Lawn and invites you to reflect on the strength and inspiration provided by father figures, mentors, and community leaders. This special pre-event, coinciding with Father's Day and led by Southfield Fire Chief Menifee, is a heartfelt tribute to those who guide us, set against the backdrop of our collective journey toward freedom and equality.
Bring your lawn chairs and your dancing shoes to hustle the day away as performances will take place all afternoon long hosted by comedian Crystal P. and featuring singer DeLo and saxophonist Mike Elder (both Southfield graduates and residents), along with Spoken Word Artist Lashaun "Phoenix" Kotaran. There will be food trucks and a Vendor Marketplace featuring over 30 black-owned artisans and small businesses. Enjoy music with DJ Deezy D while the kids enjoy games and activities with Recreation on the Move and face painting before the outdoor concert with Detroit RSVP AllStars begins at 7 pm. There is no charge for any of these events, however refreshments will be available for purchase.
We would like to thank IEP Urgent Care of Southfield (Premiere Sponsor of Entertainment), CNS Health Care along with Vibe Credit Union and McDonald’s of Michigan for their support of this event. From historical reflection to contemporary celebration, June 16 promises to be a day of meaningful connection, uplifting entertainment, and communal progress.
