Spoken Word Vibes : Juneteenth Weekend

Spoken Word Vibes – A Juneteenth Weekend Celebration of Black Expression, Culture, and Soul

Step into a night where poetry, music, and culture collide. Spoken Word Vibes returns for a powerful Juneteenth Weekend edition — an immersive, soul-stirring experience honoring the legacy, creativity, and brilliance of African American culture.

This isn’t just an event — it’s a cultural gathering. A space where Black voices are uplifted, stories are shared, and art is alive in every form. From gripping spoken word to electrifying music, from curated art to flavorful cuisine, Spoken Word Vibes is where tradition meets innovation, and community takes center stage.

In recognition of Juneteenth — a time of reflection, liberation, and pride — this installment of Spoken Word Vibes pays tribute to the resilience, artistry, and cultural contributions of the African American community. We celebrate through expression, creativity, and joy.

Hear raw, unfiltered truths from some of the city's most dynamic poets. Each performance is a window into the soul — with messages of struggle, love, pride, identity, and revolution.

Be moved by powerful sets from local musicians whose sounds range from soul and R&B to jazz, gospel, and hip-hop. Expect genre-bending performances that honor the past while pushing the culture forward.

Keep the energy flowing between sets with curated mixes from DJs spinning everything from classic soul and afrobeat to new school hip-hop and house. The vibe never fades — it only evolves.

Savor a taste of the culture with food and beverages available for purchase, featuring flavors rooted in the African American culinary tradition and local Black-owned vendors.

Explore a showcase of visual artistry from local Black creatives. Paintings, photography, fashion, handmade goods — every piece tells a story, every story builds community.

This is more than entertainment — it’s an experience. A celebration of heritage. A gathering of creative minds. A night to remember.
