Celebrate Juneteenth on the Dequindre Cut with D. Cipher and the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy! This year’s theme, PROLIFIC BLACKNESS, invites us to celebrate rich, abundant, inventive, and luxuriant cultural foundations rooted in blackness, identifying how we are preserving culture through collective activation honoring Black Bottom's legacy and one another as we navigate these times through all of the ways we exist, shine, and thrive as a Black Diaspora in Detroit and beyond.
Enjoy live music, vendors, and info booths from local organizations.
