The Juneteenth Joint

About this event

The Juneteenth Joint takes over a Midtown St. Louis venue at 3225 Olive Street for a Friday night Juneteenth celebration spotlighting Black St. Louis music, DJs, and nightlife. Doors open at 8 p.m. for an evening blending soul, hip-hop, R&B, and dance music with performances curated by local artists and producers. The Midtown corridor on Olive sits between Grand Center and the Harris-Stowe campus, an area that during the Great Migration anchored Black-owned jazz clubs, social halls, and businesses serving the city's Black professional and creative class. The Juneteenth Joint extends that lineage as a ticketed late-night cultural offering, complementing the family-friendly daytime programming elsewhere in the city with an adults-focused space to mark the holiday.
