MIAMI – April 9, 2024 – The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County (@arshtcenter) is proud to present the third annual JUNETEENTH JUKE JOINT on June 13, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. Hosted directly on the Ziff Ballet Opera House stage, the event features a live performance by STOUT (@theestout) featuring her unique sound deeply rooted in gospel and soul, blended with elements of jazz, rock, hip-hop, pop and more. JUNETEENTH JUKE JOINT pays homage to the rich history of Black music, culture and food in the American South. For generations, our country's "second Independence Day" has been celebrated with gatherings, cookouts, music, laughter and pride in Black freedom. The Juneteenth holiday commemorates the effective end of slavery, when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865 to free enslaved people.

JUNETEENTH JUKE JOINT is made possible with the support of presenting sponsor Bank of America.

Tickets to the JUNETEENTH JUKE JOINT are available for $45* and may be purchased now at arshtcenter.org, or at the Arsht Center box office by calling (305) 949-6722.

JUNETEENTH JUKE JOINT is for audiences ages 18 and over. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 6 p.m. to enjoy a special happy hour menu featuring delicious, soul food-inspired bites and libations for those 21 and over. Eventgoers will also get to experience an art exhibition curated by The Black Archives (@lyrictheatermia) and live music as they make their way through the Center’s Ziff Opera House lobby spaces.

JUNETEENTH JUKE JOINT is part of the Arsht Center’s The Heritage Project, a series created with a commitment to promote social equality and amplify Black voices. The Arsht Center celebrates Black artists throughout the community through The Heritage Project’s annual Heritage Fest and other special events throughout the year.

About Us

Set in the heart of downtown Miami, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County is committed to welcoming and connecting ALL people to the arts, to the Arsht Center and to each other. Our stages are alive year-round with artists from around the world, innovative programming from our resident companies and local arts partners, free community events that reflect Miami’s unique identity and arts education experiences for thousands of Miami children each year.

Since opening in 2006, the Arsht Center, a 501C3 non-profit organization, has been recognized as a catalyst for billions of dollars in new development in the downtown area, a leader in programming that mirrors South Florida’s diversity, a host venue for historic events and Miami’s hub for arts education.

Each year, we serve more than 60,000 young learners and offer more than 100 culturally diverse and inclusive education programs — many enhanced by the Arsht Center’s relationship with Miami-Dade County Public Schools, local teaching artists and Miami-based arts organizations.

The Arsht Center is also a home stage for three resident companies — Florida Grand Opera, Miami City Ballet and New World Symphony — and a launch pad for local artists to make their mark on the international stage. Our 300+ events each year include the Center’s Signature Series of classical, jazz, Broadway, local theater and much more. We present a robust series of touring Broadway musicals direct from New York, the largest jazz series in South Florida, a major annual Flamenco Festival and an award-winning Miami-based theater program. In addition, our Family Fest, Free Gospel Sundays, CommuniTEA LGBTQ+ celebration and Heritage Fest are among dozens of free events that bring together people from all corners of our community.
