The 6th annual 517 Juneteenth Weekend is officially a wrap!

To the 517, thank you for showing up, celebrating with us, supporting one another, and helping make this our biggest Juneteenth Weekend yet!

This year was one for the books. We welcomed record-breaking attendance, watched vendors sell out throughout the weekend, saw hundreds of children participate in our Mobile Learning Adventure and Kidz Zone, gathered for meaningful conversations at our Wellness Seminar, and closed out Father’s Day with another unforgettable Jazz Night featuring Horn & Holland.

We’re still so full, so grateful, and still taking it all in.

A huge thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, @lafculansing, for believing in this vision and helping make this weekend possible. We’re also incredibly thankful to every sponsor, community partner, volunteer, performer, vendor, artist, speaker, and attendee who poured into this celebration.

Thank you to our incredible headliner, @jamilawoods, for bringing your gift to Lansing, our keynote speaker Alexis Travis for your powerful message, every one of our panelists for sharing your wisdom, and Horn & Holland for closing the weekend with the perfect soundtrack.

This weekend continues to remind us what’s possible when a community comes together to celebrate culture, invest in one another, and create spaces where everyone belongs.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing photos, videos, and moments from throughout the celebration, so be sure to follow along.

If you’d like to help us make the 7th Annual 517 Juneteenth Weekend even bigger, please consider becoming a donor. Visit ourspacefoundation.org to support the work. taken in Lansing, Michigan by @517juneteenth

At OurSpace Foundation, we believe community is built by creating spaces where people feel seen, connected, and celebrated. Every event we host is rooted in culture, connection, and bringing people together, and if you’ve ever been to an OurSpace event, you know it’s always a good time.

This weekend was a reflection of what happens when a community shows up for one another. To everyone who attended, volunteered, performed, partnered, and supported us, thank you for making this celebration so special.

And to our incredible sponsors, especially U of M Health Sparrow, thank you for believing in our mission and helping make moments like these possible. We couldn’t do it without you.

Here’s to continuing to build community, together. ❤️ taken in REO Town by @517juneteenth
