The Downtown Tempe Juneteenth Block Party returns on June 14, 2025 from 7:00 PM – 11:00 PM at CenterPoint Plaza in Downtown Tempe.

This event will stand as a celebration of Black Joy and create a space where peoples of all races can come together to share in and witness that joy.

The Juneteenth Block Party is the perfect combo of good music, good eats and good community.

Teri Tobin is back as this year’s emcee and will set the vibe for the night, as well as, give us a great performance and Urban Poet will deliver powerful spoken word. DJ Panic and DJ AKSHEN will keep the energy up with nonstop music so that Furious Styles Crew can bring the heat on the dance floor with some 1 v 1 dance battles.

SouthWest Steppaz is putting a fresh spin on line dancing. They blend the soul of R&B, the twang of country, and the rhythm of Black culture to create something entirely their own.

Black-owned food vendors will be serving up delicious meals and drinks!

The championship rounds of the Hip-Hop Barber Battle will take place during the Juneteenth Block Party!
