The past year has made clear that staying the course is no longer enough. So we’re making Juneteenth HBG 2026 bigger than a celebration — a full week of reclaiming economic power, radically reimagining what's possible, and defining freedom on our own terms through business, culture, art, and music. Joy is still the resistance. But this year, we carry it forward with sharper intention. This is the chapter we were built to write.

We have an exciting week planned, so get your tickets today! Most events are low-cost or FREE! We’ll also have fun giveaways, but sign up for the events to qualify!
