ABOUT

Juneteenth JoyFest is a program of the Joy Ambition, a Non-profit cultural initiative nurturing the vibrant arts and culture scene in North Omaha and the greater area.

Juneteenth JoyFest is a family-friendly Black Arts & Cultural Festival honoring the history of Juneteenth while supporting Black artists, entrepreneurs, and businesses in North Omaha.

Founded in 2021 as a small community event, Juneteenth JoyFest expanded into an all-day celebration. Juneteenth JoyFest offers Omahans an opportunity to support the local community, and learn about local organizations and small businesses. Most importantly, it allows community members to experience joy through art, music, education, and activities.

"North Omaha and its residents deserve to have culturally exceptional experiences to highlight the amazing impact it has given to Omaha for years prior, and years to come. We want Juneteenth JoyFest to be a yearly moment to exchange that joy, information, expression, entrepreneurship and celebration-- all in honor of our ancestors."

- Alajia Mckizia, Founder and Executive Director
