Hella Juneteenth Festival returns on June 19, 2026, taking over Cloud Park in Downtown Oakland for a new chapter of one of the Bay Area’s most anticipated cultural celebrations.What started in 2020 as a grassroots campaign advocating for Juneteenth to be recognized as a paid holiday has grown into a powerful gathering rooted in community, freedom, and joy.

The Jubilee Stage: a lineup of exceptional DJs spinning R&B, hip-hop, Afrobeats, and cookout classics

The Cookout: a curated selection of Black-owned food vendors serving flavors from across the diaspora

The Green: a space to lounge, dance, connect, and take it all in
