Tips from the community
A bit deeper into Virginia, Richmond is another great city to consider for Juneteenth celebrations. Year-round, Black RVA is a hub for experiencing the culture in Richmond. This year there’s a Block Party Festival with spoken word, food, and live music on the 19th. Because Juneteenth falls on Father’s Day this year, a local NAACP branch celebrates Black fatherhood with more food, performances, and wine tastings. Later this month, on June 26th, the Elegba Folklore Society will host their annual freedom market and pay ancestral homage with a visit to Richmond’s African Burial Grounds.
For food lovers looking to honor Black culture through their palettes, Black-owned restaurants like Lillie Pearl and BRUN are delicious places to be. At Richmond’s beloved Lillie Pearl, African American and West African foodways blend into offerings like braised beef short ribs with jollof rice. At BRUN, premium whiskeys and cigars are available, which have deep roots in Black culture.
