The Juneteenth Celebration will be held Thursday, June 19, 2025 from 10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. at the African American Museum in Philadelphia at 701 Arch St, Philadelphia, PA
PHILADELPHIA - Culture, history, liberation, and celebration take center stage at the 2025 Juneteenth Block Party with the African American Museum in Philadelphia!
Join AAMP as they commemorate the 160th legacy of Juneteenth and celebrate our 49th anniversary as one of the first institutions funded and built by a major municipality to preserve, interpret, and exhibit the heritage of African Americans. In partnership with Wawa and Welcome America, AAMP will host an all-day, family-friendly outdoor festival led by our mistress of ceremonies, Philadelphia’s own Patty Jackson from iHeart Radio and WDAS-FM. There will be live entertainment, activities, games, and education for everyone to enjoy!
The AAMP announced Grammy Award-winning DJ and Philadelphia native, DJ Drama, as the first performer. The Block Party begins at noon and will occur outside, behind the museum. All are welcome. This is a rain or shine event.
Courtesy of Wawa, guests will have free admission to the museum to explore exhibitions, “Demond Melancon: As Any Means Are Necessary” and “AAMP Presents: The Pearl Bailey Showcase.” Participate in thought-provoking gallery talks hosted by AAMP team members while perusing galleries.
Admittance into the museum is on a first-come, first-served basis and in accordance with gallery capacity. To learn more about Juneteenth visit aampmuseum.org/juneteenth-2025.html
