Event Details

We are so excited to invite you to an all-ages, live, in-person concert in celebration of Juneteenth! Join us on Saturday, June 18 at 1:00 pm on the McMahon Wintonbury Lawn at 1015 Blue Hills Avenue. There will be parking on Rockwell Avenue and at the Blue Hills Fire Department. Bring a lawn chair, relax, and enjoy this outdoor concert. The library will be open from 10:00 am - 3:00 pm, so stop by for your FREE library card, to check out materials, or to stop in and say hi!


The town's Juneteenth Parade begins at 11:00 am at First Cathedral and ends at the Blue Hills Fire Department, right across the street from McMahon Wintonbury. There will be hot dogs and hamburgers at the Fire House, and then our concert will begin at 1:00 pm. There will also be FREE ice cream with your FREE library card at the show! We can't wait to see you!


Entertaining you and your family and friends will be the award-winning Alika Hope and The Ray of Hope Project. Libraries, schools, and museums throughout the U.S. have enjoyed working with The Ray of Hope Project to create performance pieces that connect today's social issues to those of 19th-century enslaved people and abolitionists. The ultimate goal of this project is to help people connect with history to explore their own sense of freedom and responsibility for today's social justice issues, and to use this exploration to affect positive change in our world.
