About this Event
Annual Juneteenth Party: For the Kids!
Story Time with Zetta Elliot, plus special guests Jonell Joshua and more TBA
Arts and crafts, food, music, and more!
In partnership with Brown Babies n' Books
Greenlight's annual Juneteenth event, highlighting Black creatives and topics that directly impact Black livelihood, is back for its fourth year! This year, we're hosting our first kids-focused event, celebrating the work of several Black children's book authors and illustrators with a family-friendly evening of reading, arts and crafts, food and fun! Award-winning author and poet Zetta Elliot headlines with a Story Time of her new book A Song for Juneteenth, an emotional and lyrical picture book that celebrates the importance of Juneteenth as well as the resilience of Black families and the power of community. Following the reading, local illustrators, including award-winning artist Jonell Joshua, lead interactive arts and crafts activities for kids and adults to enjoy!
Free drinks and refreshments from Black-owned Brooklyn businesses Jaylee's Treats and Happy Cork are served, and a portion of proceeds from all purchases on June 12 will be donated to Brown Babies n' Books, a Brooklyn-based, community-driven literacy nonprofit dedicated to building legacy through literacy, representation, and community.
