About the Las Vegas Juneteenth Festival

Founded 25 years ago as a single day event, the festival has developed into an annual celebration attracting thousands from both the local community and those visiting from other locations. The focus of the festival is to showcase and honor all those who have had a positive impact on music, art, and history through their contributions to society, and during its 25th anniversary, the festival will continue this tradition by honoring those contributions and empowering local artists and entrepreneurs.

At the festival, attendees can expect live performances by R&B artist Christopher Williams, as well as high-energy performances by West Coast artists Kyss Kyss & the Squad and Unc & the Nephews, making for an amazing night of dancing, fun and celebration of life!

The festival is also an open-air marketplace with local vendors selling their products, artists showing their work, and community leaders connecting with those in need of their services to help develop economies in the greater mid-west. With each ticket purchased, the purchaser supports not only these local vendors and artists but also their respective community programs and/scholarships. In turn, each serves as a lasting contribution toward growing through the act of celebration!
