The Delmar Loop Juneteenth Celebration brings together residents, visitors, performers, artists, vendors, and community partners for a day centered on culture, connection, and joy. The day begins with the Reconciliation Network’s 5K Race for Reconciliation and continues with live performances, music, dance, community art, food, and local vendors. WashU is proud to be a sponsor of the event in 2026.
Delmar Boulevard, a longstanding symbol of division, is transcending its historical barriers as both sides of the Delmar Loop unite their efforts to create an extraordinary Juneteenth festival experience. This partnership underscores a shared commitment to fostering unity, celebrating diversity, and commemorating the significance of Juneteenth.
