Celebrating Freedom. Building Thriving Communities.

On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved Black people in America finally received word that they were free. That moment of jubilee, long overdue and hard won, is what brings us together every June in the heart of Lansing.

The 517 Juneteenth Weekend is Mid-Michigan's largest cultural celebration. Now in its sixth year, it is four days of joy, healing, music, and community that honors where we come from and affirms where we are going.

Freedom is not just something we remember. It is something we live, share, and build on together.
