Refine Collective Presents the 4th Annual Juneteenth Freedom Market @ The Salt Shed
Events
The Salt Shed Outdoors (Fairgrounds)
Lift every voice and sing!
On June 19, 1865, the last community of enslaved Black people in the Confederacy received word they’d be free, and Juneteenth was born. Over 150 years later, the contributions of Black Americans to society at large – locally, nationally and globally – are enormous, everlasting and ongoing.
Join Refine Collective for a free, all-ages celebration of Black creativity and entrepreneurship at our 4th Annual Juneteenth Freedom Market hosted in partnership with The Salt Shed.
Come by on the evening of June 19th to enjoy:
- A marketplace of 50+ local Black-owned businesses and creators, selling everything from homegoods, beauty products, one-of-a-kind fashions and more
- Curated sounds, including DJ sets from Slot A, Ryan The Person, and Cut Cuz and a performance by Shawnee Dez
- The chance to watch and join the renowned 40+ Double Dutch Club, a Chicago based non-profit made up of women ages 40+ encouraging movement and community through the fun and nostalgia of Double Dutch
- Specially-designed flash tattoos by DesignbySyd, Onyx Tattoos, and Jhanée Inx
- A cozy lounge, powered by CB2
- Manicures from Chicago’s own, Tips312
While RSVP is free, please consider making a $10 donation to our friends at Gray Matter Experience, who are building a better Chicago by empowering the next generation of Black entrepreneurs and change makers through hands-on business experience, coaching and mentorship.
Thank you to our sponsors: Wintrust Community Bank, Red Bull, Gran Coramino, Hyde Park Hospitality, and CB2! Your support is invaluable.
