Education. Economic Independence. Community Engagement. These themes define the Juneteenth Jubilee Freedom Weekend, held on June 18 and June 19, 2022!

Education will be highlighted with holiday history and folkways, as well as a Treasure Hunt and on-site programs. For the Treasure Hunt, Families will be encouraged to visit historic sites around downtown and near East Side Detroit. The first 5 families to register will receive a ‘Juneteenth Gift Bag’ from the Wright Museum!

The Museum will be encouraging and supporting economic independence by featuring black businesses and job opportunities. Community engagement is exemplified by our national and community partnerships, which include The League of Women Voters, We The People of Detroit, and Black Farmers’ Land Trust.

The Wright will be offering both in person and online events this year. The Vendor’s Marketplace will be held outside this year.
