Celebrate Juneteenth this week in #DTJax!

Juneteenth holds deep meaning in Downtown Jacksonville—especially at the Ritz Theatre & Museum, located in the historic LaVilla neighborhood once known as the “Harlem of the South.” Built on the site of the original 1929 Ritz Theater, the museum honors the rich cultural legacy of Jacksonville’s Black community.

With a mission to preserve and present the stories of Black life in Northeast Florida and the African Diaspora, the Ritz stands as a powerful place to reflect on Juneteenth ❤️

Recognized as the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States, Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War had ended and those enslaved were now free—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Looking to celebrate in Downtown Jacksonville? Here are a few events and experiences to explore:
⭐️ Take a Black Heritage Tour with @explore_jax_core_tours
⭐️ Don`t miss the last @iamdjlarrylove x @placemakingjax The Pop-Out: A Live Black Music Series at @levsparkjax
⭐️ Visit the @ritzjax to view their “Lift Ev’ry Voice” art exhibition
⭐️ Don`t miss @moshjax Book Club with guest speaker Nathaniel Glover
⭐️ All day long: Juneteenth Celebration at @levsparkjax
⭐️ A Celebration of Freedom at @jaxcathedral
