What is Juneteenth Arkansas Festival?

Since its establishment in 2020, the Juneteenth Arkansas Festival has promoted economic empowerment, Arkansas agriculture, education, community involvement through quality entertainment, and a family friendly environment. Standing as the states largest Juneteenth celebration with 10s of thousands of attendees, vendors, and entertainers, the Juneteenth Arkansas Festival thrives on being committed to the community. The Juneteenth Arkansas Festival serves not only as an annual celebration but as a unique destination that brings people from all walks of life together to create lifelong memories.

How we celebrate community?

The Juneteenth Arkansas Festival has a unique appreciation for local support. By offering free admission, the festival allows a one-of a kind experience. As part of its non profit mission to contribute on a local and state wide level, the Juneteenth Arkansas Festival gives back through its partnerships with local schools districts, college scholarships, sponsor local programs, donations and resources given to attendees, and adds hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Little Rock economy.

Our Impact

In June of 2021, we hosted our inaugural event. The event was planned in just 5 weeks with a dedicated team of community activist. Our impact was observed throughout the entire city of Little Rock. Our goal was unity. Our event was historic and even brought more meaning when President Biden, made Juneteenth Official USA National Holiday! American History!!!
