Juneteenth 2025

On Saturday, June 21 at Dorey Park we will commemorate the 160th anniversary of Juneteenth and the powerful celebration of freedom.

We’ve got a fantastic vendor fair featuring 160 local vendors, a kid zone with thrilling inflatables, a vibrant community stage showcasing local talent, and a variety of delicious food. And that’s not all – this year’s musical theme is Go-Go music, a uniquely regional sound that’s deeply rooted in the African American community, symbolizing resilience and unity. Originally from Washington, D.C., Go-Go has become a beloved genre across the DMV area, including right here in Henrico County!

To kick things off, we’ve got the incredible Go-Go legends EU ft. Sugar Bear, plus the iconic Chuck Brown Band—with Chuck’s Brown’s son Wiley Brown leading the band in tribute to the Godfather of Go-Go. As the grand finale, we’re thrilled to welcome back Art of Noise, featuring DJ Lonnie B., plus an epic firework show to light up the night. It’s going to be a high-energy, unforgettable experience!

The entire Juneteenth Celebration is FREE and open to the public. Come out, enjoy the fun, and celebrate with us!

For any questions, don’t hesitate to give us a call at (804) 652-1421 or email Juneteenth@henrico.gov. See you there!
