Denver’s Juneteenth Music Festival took place Saturday, June 15 and Sunday, June 16 in the historic Five Points neighborhood, offering parade goers an array of DJs, block parties, food trucks, and live performances, including the main act, Bow Wow. This year marks 71 years of Denver’s longest running street festival, celebrating the day when the last of the nation’s enslaved people learned of their emancipation.
