## Resource

Santa Monica’s Juneteenth celebrations are bigger and bolder this year, offering two unforgettable experiences: a free, wellness-centered evening on Friday featuring sound baths, art workshops, and a screening of “BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions,” followed by the city’s 34th annual Juneteenth Festival on Saturday with live music, drum circles, and Black-owned vendor stalls—all honoring the legacy of liberation. Rooted in history, this tradition began in 1992 when resident LaVerne Ross, granddaughter of an enslaved man, championed the city’s first Juneteenth event—making Santa Monica a pioneer in recognizing the holiday decades before it became federal. With Juneteenth now a national holiday, city offices close and parking enforcement pauses to mark the day. Whether you crave quiet healing or vibrant community, Santa Monica delivers both—free and open to all. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
