The Arsht Center‘s Heritage Committee is proud to present the third annual Juneteenth Juke Joint! This year’s celebration will feature Stout and her band. Stout’s sound is deeply rooted in gospel and soul, blended with elements of jazz, rock, hip-hop, pop and more.

Juneteenth Juke Joint pays homage to the rich history of Black music, culture and food in the American South. For generations, our country’s “second Independence Day” has been celebrated with gatherings, cookouts, music, laughter and pride in Black freedom. We seek to create a space for Black joy, and maintain an ever-present, always-developing sense of community.

Juneteenth Juke Joint is for audiences ages 18 and over. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 6 p.m. to enjoy a special happy hour menu featuring delicious, soul food-inspired bites and libations for those 21 and over. Eventgoers will also get to experience an art exhibition curated by The Black Archives and live music as they make their way through the Center’s Ziff Ballet Opera House lobby.
