Juneteenth + Make Music Weekend
June 19th thru the 21st
The Loop Special Business District is working with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Omicron Eta Omega to plan Juneteenth activities.

This will include a sample of poetry/spoken word, essays and a songstress on the Harlem Renaissance & Black Arts movement period, presentation from Mathew Foggy to speak on Hype the Stripe movement, a dance troop, vocal music, theatre, arts and design. The event will take place on June 19th at the Market in the Loop at 6655 Delmar.

The Loop Special Business District will also host a 3-day outdoor event featuring musicians from all over St. Louis. More than 50 acts will be playing throughout the weekend.

The internationally recognized Make Music event was launched in 1982 in France as the Fête de la Musique, it is now held annually in more than 1,000 cities in 120 countries.

If you would like to get involved in the planning of either event, please contact Jessica Bueler at [email protected].
