Juneteenth Beach Bash

Experience a day of celebration, reflection and community connection on Miami's historic shoreline. The Juneteenth Beach Bash returns for its second year on Saturday, June 14, at Historic Virginia Key Beach Park.

This commemorative event honors the significance of Juneteenth while creating space for families and community members to gather in a setting that blends cultural significance with natural beauty. The beach bash aims to balance historical recognition with contemporary celebration, adopting the theme "Honoring our past. Embracing our future."

Visitors can enjoy a varied program of live music and entertainment throughout the afternoon while food vendors offer a selection of culinary options. The event includes interactive games and activities designed to engage participants of all ages, taking advantage of the park's scenic beachfront location.

Historic Virginia Key Beach Park provides a meaningful backdrop for the festivities, as the site holds its own significant place in Miami's civil rights history as the city's designated "colored only" beach during segregation, later becoming a symbol of resilience and progress.

The event is free to attend, though advance RSVP is recommended.
