Baltimore is preparing for Juneteenth 2026 with a series of free events celebrating Black history and culture. The annual AFRAM festival, marking its 50th year, returns to Druid Hill Park on June 19–21, featuring live performances by Tamia, The Lox, and other artists, alongside food vendors, African drumming, and family activities. The event runs Friday 3 p.m.–9 p.m., and Saturday–Sunday noon–9 p.m. The Reginald F. Lewis Museum will host a Juneteenth program on June 19 from 10 a.m.–4 p.m., exploring themes of freedom and equity through panel discussions, art workshops, and cultural presentations. Inspired by its *The Lines We Cross* exhibition, the event encourages reflection on ongoing struggles for justice. The Walters Art Museum will celebrate Juneteenth with a June 13 program featuring live music by Jabari Exum and Amadou Kouyate, followed by a June 19 block party. The museum will also showcase *Douriean Fletcher: Jewelry of the Afrofuture*, an exhibition tied to *Black Panther* designs. The American Visionary Art Museum (AVAM) will host a Juneteenth celebration on June 19, highlighting Black artists through a pop-up shop by Sean Ramon Montague and docent-led tours of its collection. All events are free, with registration required for the Walters program.
