EASTERN SHORE JUNETEENTH FESTIVAL
OUR STORY
In early 2018, two community organizers connected to revamp the spirit of Juneteenth on Maryland's lower Eastern Shore. The two would partner with the Chipman Foundation to hold the inaugural year of the festival at the Chipman Cultural Center in Salisbury. The event's first year was a glimpse of its potential to be a catalyst for the restoration of Black pride on the Eastern Shore. Since that day, the pair have grown into a larger committee, a group committed to establishing a permanent appreciation and celebration of Juneteenth for the region.

OUR MIXTAPES
Historically, music has served as an outlet for Black pain, a glimpse of tomorrow for Black freedom, and an unapologetic reflection of Black joy. As a nation, there is no denying the influence of Black artists on our musical landscape.
Our mixtapes are Black-infused playlists unconstrained by genre. They will take us through the diaspora and throughout our history to paint our stories.
