Fishers Arts Council (FAC) and Fishers High School’s Future Black Leaders club will present the fifth annual Juneteenth Jubilee at Conner Prairie from 5 to 8 p.m. on June 19.
This annual student-managed event features black-owned businesses and visual artists, culinary artists, community resources, as well as talented performing artists.
Juneteenth Jubilee has been organized and created by students from Fishers High School’s Future Black Leaders club since 2020 and this is the second year it will be held at Conner Prairie. Last year 2,500 individuals enjoyed the Jubilee with their families.
Roughly 30 spaces remain for vendors to join this annual event. The deadline to apply is Friday, May 24. Interested individuals can visit FishersArtsCouncil.org/Juneteenth to sign up. Entertainment applications are closed for 2024.
Sponsorship opportunities are also available for small and large businesses to help support different areas of the Jubilee. Details about sponsorship can be found at FishersArtsCouncil.org/Juneteenth and all sponsorship levels include a booth space at the 2024 event.
“Juneteenth is important because it is a celebration for African Americans moving closer to freedom,” says Brooklynn Ferrell, student organizer for Juneteenth Jubilee and 2023-2024 Co-President of Fishers High School’s Future Black Leaders Club. “This event highlights the achievements and advancements we have made as a culture. Being a part of the Jubilee helps to show support to this important historic holiday in a fun community setting.”
FAC Executive Director Les Reinhardt said the students are the driving force behind this successful event.
“Working alongside these incredible student leaders is an inspiration,” Reinhardt said. “We are proud to support these students and the amazing event they create for the community year after year. They decide what will be offered, coordinate with the vendors and entertainment, create educational materials, and fundraise. It’s truly amazing to see the power of what our youth can make happen in Fishers.”
