AAMP’s Juneteenth Block Party, in partnership with Wawa Welcome America and Visit Philadelphia, will kick off Philadelphia’s July 4th celebrations, bridging the gap between the two holidays to highlight the historical significance and thematic ties between Juneteenth and July 4. The June 19 date also marks the 47th anniversary of the African American Museum in Philadelphia, which was founded in 1976 during the City’s Bicentennial as the first institution founded and built by a municipality.
This year themed “Liberation Rising,” AAMP’s Juneteenth Block Party will continue for its third year as a FREE, family-friendly outdoor event (rain or shine) offering games and activities, music, visual arts, food trucks, a marketplace of local vendors, and full access to the Museum throughout the day. For the second consecutive year, Philadelphia radio icon and WURD host, Tiffany Bacon, will serve as host and emcee for the daylong event.
