Juneteenth Jubilee Detroit (JJD) will celebrate Juneteenth weekend with two family-friendly events dedicated to artistic expression and small businesses.
JJD is a volunteer based committee devoted to developing resources, programming and events to address educational equity and economic sustainability for the Detroit community.

Friday, June 17th, in partnership with Eastern Market Brewing Company and Brewz Brothaz JJD will showcase local visual and musical artists at our Rhythm and Art Block Party. There will be food trucks, a live podcast, and more!
