Freedom & Form
in the City of Angels

Juneteenth in Los Angeles has evolved beyond a single day of remembrance — it's now a movement of expression, gathering, and unmistakable energy. This year, the city offers a spectrum of experiences: rooftop pool parties that spill into golden hour, speakeasy sets hosted by LA legends, and even a full waterpark takeover two hours east. Whether you're here for the music, the fashion, or simply the vibe, these events demand attention.

What stands out this June is the range. Chance the Rapper returns to the Hollywood Bowl for a family-friendly gospel-hip-hop fusion, while underground collectives push Amapiano and Afrobeats into the early morning. Day parties like "Sneaky Link" flip R&B classics into communal moments, and Ebony Beach Club turns Dockweiler nostalgia into a desert dream. Below, a curated breakdown of the essential stops.

Henny & Wings returns for BET Weekend at Los Globos. Early bird tickets are live — from free entry to $28.52. Organized by Dope NightLife, this day party runs 5 hours with bottle specials and high energy. Follow @hennyandwings for updates.

Ebony Beach Club is making history again: a full waterpark takeover at Palm Springs Surf Club. With world-class surf lagoon, lazy river, three water slides, yoga led by WalkgoodLA, and DJs including Earryhall, Dirty Dell, Atron, and more. GA $65 gets you access to everything except surf lessons. Beginner surf sessions ($200) and advanced A-frame sessions ($220) are extremely limited — only 80 slots total. This is the Black beach renaissance, brought to the desert.

Secret Sundays and Diaspora Dance present AFRO FEVER at Get Lost DTLA, one of the biggest day parties of the summer. Amapiano, Afro House, Gqom, Afrobeats — the rooftop transforms into a global dance haven. Early bird tickets are moving fast. Dress to impress, 21+ only.

Get Lost LA rooftop weekend: Friday kicks off with Good Company and sounds by Iman Omari. Saturday starts with Rooftop Brunch with a View featuring DJ Corseaux before Amber Lang takes over the night with R&B and Hip-Hop. On Sunday, Queer Aunties brings the energy from 3–9 PM for an afternoon of music, community, and dancing above the city. This event is ticketed.
