    B Street Theatre, Celebration Arts, BTU Arts and CapStage are thrilled to announce that they have (once again!) partnered together for an incredible Juneteenth event! On Friday, June 19th, members of all organizations and the public will gather at Celebration Arts (2727 B Street, Sacramento) and then begin an Art Walk led by BTU Arts' Second Line-Style Brass Band through midtown Sacramento to CapStage (2215 J Street), and The Sofia, Home of B Street Theatre (2700 Capitol Ave, Sacramento). All are welcome to join this free event!

    Celebration Arts, B Street Theatre, Bigger Than Us Arts, CapStage, and all other participants welcome anyone and everyone to join in this exciting Juneteenth Art Walk! As arts organizations, our goal is to celebrate this milestone by spotlighting the many talented BIPOC artists and performers in the Sacramento community. Admission is free and revelers are invited to join the parade either at Celebration Arts’ starting point or at CapStage or join us for the finale at The Sofia.

    Special Thanks to the Music Performance Trust Fund for their financial support of our Juneteenth musicians!

    During the walk, please be sure to look both ways when crossing streets and stay on sidewalks!

    The program will conclude at The Sofia with a recitation of excerpts of the Emancipation Proclamation and closing remarks from Sacramento Arts Commissioner Dr. Steven Winlock. The lobby of The Sofia will close at 1:30 pm.
