Dubbed “Tampa Bay’s best Family Reunion,” the region’s biggest Juneteenth festival is back for another huge year. The 6th Annual R.O.C. The Block Juneteenth Festival is being hosted on Saturday, June 20, from 2:30-9:30 pm at Raymond James Stadium.
The family-friendly cultural festival is a sprawling extravaganza that draws thousands to the grounds outside Ray J, and organizers say this year’s rendition will be the best and biggest one yet. The full lineup for the day includes so many of our festival favorites: dozens of the area’s best food trucks and chefs; a massive local market; live music on stage all afternoon and night; and a gigantic kids zone for the children to run around and play games.

The festival is completely free to attend (register here). The R.O.C. The Block Juneteenth Festival is the capstone celebration to a full week of festivities in Tampa, from workshops and youth events to TopGolf and more.
The sprawling festival is truly a spectacle, with dancing happening all day and night by the stage, which will be graced by local stars and national acts alike. The festival grounds are filled with games, gigantic inflatables for kids, interactive arts and games, and dozens upon dozens of the region’s most talented makers, chefs, artists, vendors and more.
Tampa’s biggest Juneteenth party
The marquee event is Saturday’s free celebration outside Raymond James Stadium. The Juneteenth Festival is hosted annually by the local group R.O.C. The Block, a team of young multi-industry creatives united for the sole purpose of “Reconditioning Our Communities.” The group got its start in 2021 when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosted the Super Bowl, and R.O.C. The Block formed to create events showcasing Black-owned businesses in the community alongside all the Super Bowl fanfare.
Since then, they’ve been throwing some of Tampa’s best parties year-round, shining a light on local talent and creating opportunities for all communities to come together and celebrate each other. This year’s Juneteenth Festival will be one of their biggest events yet, making it a must-visit.
The 6th Annual R.O.C. The Block Juneteenth Festival takes place on Saturday, June 21 from 3-9 pm at Raymond James Stadium. Free tickets (you must register in advance) are available here.
