Join us for our annual AXIS event Juneteenth Celebration. The event is free and will be held on Copley Plaza. We will host a collective of some of the best performing artists San Diego has to offer: dance, storytelling, spoken word, neo-soul, gospel, R&B, and live music, as well as the presentation of a short comedic play centered on the lives and struggles of Black men. We will also have crafts for the kids and food trucks available. Hosted by our very own Arts Engagement Programs Associate Gill Sotu. Don’t miss out!
