The Asheville Downtown Association proudly announces a special collaboration with the Martin Luther King Jr. Association for this year’s Juneteenth celebration at Downtown After 5. The event, presented by Prestige Subaru, will take place on North Lexington Avenue on Friday, June 21, from 5 PM to 9 PM, rain or shine.
This year, we are excited to partner with the Martin Luther King Jr. Association, highlighting the cultural significance of Juneteenth. The MLK Association will benefit directly from the event, receiving $2,000 plus all tips from wristband sales, with vendor fees waived for BIPOC-owned marketplaces and food trucks.
Our musical lineup features the incredible talents of Lyric and Sierra Green & The Giants, ensuring a memorable evening filled with great music. The event will be hosted by the charismatic Petey Smith McDowell, promising an atmosphere of non-stop entertainment and fun.
We are grateful to our June VIP Sponsor, Noir Collective with YMI Cultural Center, for their support.
