The Cleveland Juneteenth Freedom Fest featured thousands celebrating the holiday and supporting Black businesses and entrepreneurs.
The festival featured two stages with music by Grammy Award winner Keyon Harrold, with special guest and Grammy Award winner Bilal, DJ’s and dance performances. Throughout the mall, visitors could participate in a variety of activities, including roller skating, dancing, mural drawing, and eating from a wide selection of food trucks and vendors and shopping at a vendor village, spotlighting Black businesses and entrepreneurs.
Children could play with bubbles at several bubble stations, build with blocks, play tug-of-war and participate in community programs and education. Mural artists were scattered among the visitors around the mall, live painting murals for the Voices of CLE public art project. Strong wind did kick up at times, causing a few challenges for some vendors and mural artists who had to make sure paint trays didn’t blow away in the gusts. But it did help the kids in the bubble stations produce an uncountable number of bubbles that caught the wind and sailed toward the downtown skyline.Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission.
