What to know

Our experience

The African American Museum throws a free block party for Juneteenth every year, and this one doubles as the museum's 50th birthday. Four stages bring DJ Jazzy Jeff, Slick Rick, and Doug E. Fresh, there is a vendor village of Black-owned businesses and food trucks, and a new Jazz Tunnel with a 15-piece band and shaded seating to cool off in. For the kids there is a dedicated Kids Zone with hands-on activities, and museum admission is free all day. It runs noon to five in Old City, a block from the 5th Street stop.
