ABOUT
Indy Juneteenth was started by James and Twjonia Webb in the summer of 2016. Both believed that the Juneteenth holiday needed much more recognition not only in Indianapolis, but throughout America. So they decided to devote a business to the holiday itself. Indy Juneteenth's mission is to improve the quality and narrative of life around the black community in Indianapolis by creating avenues for celebration and economic growth through unique events and programs all designed to celebrate Juneteenth and other underserved Black American holidays.
VENDORS
Indy Juneteenth takes pride in supporting local black businesses. Whether through fundraising or participating in events, Indy Juneteenth provides a platform that local black businesses can benefit from. If you or a business you may know would like to participate in any of our events, please reach out to us via email or on social media below.
CHILDREN’S CORNER
Indy Juneteenth not only hosts festivals but also provides family friendly environments for all. Education on African American history and reading highlight many of the activities and sections of our events. We look forward to changing the narrative and providing safe and educational environments for all.
