Juneteenth on the East is a vibrant, multi-day celebration of Black freedom, culture, and joy in the heart of Oklahoma City’s Eastside. It honors June 19, 1865, the day the last enslaved African Americans in the U.S. were freed through music, art, food, education, and community connection.

Yes! All Juneteenth on the East events are free and open to the public, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, partners, and community volunteers.
