Juneteenth Weekend Celebration

The Nia Cultural Center proudly presents the third installment of its Emancipation Celebration Concert, a hallmark event celebrating Black art, culture, and contributions since Juneteenth. This year’s concert will take place on June 8th, 2024, at the historic 1894 Grand Opera House in Galveston, Texas, the birthplace of Juneteenth. Headlining the concert are Grammy Award-winning recording artist Fred Hammond and Galveston’s own The Stinson Five, promising an electrifying night of music and celebration. The event, commencing at 7 p.m. will pay tribute to four of Texas’s most historic Black churches, each holding the distinction of being the first in their denomination.

The Emancipation Celebration Concert is the pinnacle of a week-long series of events organized by the Nia Cultural Center, aimed at commemorating Juneteenth and showcasing the richness of Black heritage. Since its inception in 2022, the concert has become a symbol of unity and empowerment, raising funds to support the nonprofit Nia Cultural Center’s initiatives.
