Emancipation Day marks the end of slavery in Washington, DC, when more than 3,000 enslaved people were freed on April 16, 1862—months before the Emancipation Proclamation. Today, we gather in honor of that legacy—through music, culture, and community—with performances by T.I., Mýa, Tye Tribbett, Backyard Band, and more.
If you’re nearby, we would love to have you join us at 1301 Pennsylvania Ave NW. Gates are open, the concert begins at 2:30PM, and admission is free. We’re just getting started!
