Where culture, community, and connection take center stage.
June in Austin hits different. It’s a month where Pride, Juneteenth, and Black Music intersect, three powerful celebrations rooted in identity, freedom, culture, and joy. The city comes alive with events that honor who we are, where we’ve been, and where we’re going.
As Austin’s cultural tour guide, we’ve curated this guide to help you move through June with intention. Whether you’re pulling up to celebrate, reflect, dance, or connect, this is your go-to for finding the moments that matter.
✨ Find Your People Week (Our Love Letter to Community)
Every year during Juneteenth, we go all in on what we’re really about, helping you find your people.
Find Your People Week is our signature series of events designed to bring the city together through intentional, community-centered experiences. From conversations and socials to wellness moments and kickbacks, this week is about creating space where you feel seen, welcomed, and connected.
