Indy’s Juneteenth 2025: Freedom, Family and Culture

Indy knows how to celebrate freedom, family, and legacy—and this year’s Juneteenth lineup proves it. Whether you’re vibin’ to the Isley Brothers, or history at a museum, there’s a celebration waiting for you.

Let’s start with the music! The 4th Annual Legacy Fest Concert at the Madam Walker Center (June 20) brings the legendary Isley Brothers to the stage. It’s also fundraiser supporting STEAM and arts programs for our youth.

And don’t miss the 8th Annual Indy Juneteenth Festival at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, running from June 14 to June 21. This is the main event—a full week of Black excellence. It kicks off June 14 with the “Punches for Purpose” Boxing Showcase at the Speedway Events Center. Then on June 19, catch the Fireworks Show at Sarkine Park with rides, live music, food trucks, and even a cigar lounge. Finally, it all builds to the June 21 Main Event—featuring a kids’ zone, wellness circle, live performances, local vendors, a Budweiser VIP lounge, and even sip & paint sessions.

For the little ones, there’s the Juneteenth Jamboree at the Children’s Museum (June 7). Don’t sleep on the Juneteenth and Jazz Community Celebration at the Eiteljorg (June 21)—free admission, live jazz, and pure culture.

Feeling artsy? Head to Fort Ben Cultural Campus on June 21 for a powerful mural experience led by Kierra Ready, plus food, dance, and health resources.

And if you’re a foodie, mark June 13 for the Juneteenth Foodways Festival at the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site. Come hungry!

This month is about honoring our past and celebrating our present—together. So grab your crew, wear your red, black, and green, and show up for Juneteenth 2025. Indy, let’s make it unforgettable.
