Description

Admission to Lewis Ginter Botanical is FREE on Thursday, June 19, 2025 in honor of Juneteenth! Join us for a full day of joy, reflection, and community as we honor Juneteenth with music, art, storytelling, and more.

Start the morning with a special storytime featuring A Flag for Juneteenth with Shauntae Lilly at 10am (in the Library or outside, weather permitting). Be sure to stop and see renowned artist Ron Stokes of the Art Seen live paint in Central Garden. Shauntae returns as her musical persona in the afternoon, Lady Hymningbird, for soulful performances in the Auditorium at 1pm and 3pm, where educational videos will also be playing throughout the day.

In Grace Arents Garden, enjoy a lively morning and afternoon with DJ B-Rice, delicious food and treats from Philly Vegan, Lib True Taste, and Ruby Scoops, and don’t miss the vibrant and danceable Latin Soul sounds of Ban Caribe from 5–8pm!
