Juneteenth Juke Joint featuring The W's

Join a celebration of African American heritage where music, food and community converge in multifaceted cultural experience. The Juneteenth Juke Joint featuring The W's takes place on Saturday, June 7 at the Adrienne Arsht Center as part of the center's ongoing Arsht Impact Program. This annual event honors what has become known as America's "second Independence Day" with a contemporary twist on the traditional gatherings that have marked this milestone in Black freedom for generations.

Festivities kick off at 6 p.m. with a curated happy hour showcasing soul food-inspired dishes and specialty drinks available to guests ages 21 and over. As the evening progresses, attendees can explore visual art exhibitions while DJ Cardi sets the mood before The W's take the stage with their live performance.

Tickets are priced at $45 per person and can be purchased for groups of up to four guests. Smaller parties of three or fewer may be seated at shared tables with other attendees, with seating assigned in order of purchase. This intimate seating arrangement enhances the communal atmosphere, preserving the spirit that has historically defined juke joints as spaces of celebration, reflection and cultural expression.
