LAS VEGAS (June 2025) – AREA15, the pulse-pounding hub of experiential art and entertainment situated parallel to the Las Vegas Strip, will commemorate Juneteenth with a day of community-focused programming on Wednesday, June 18. Presented in partnership with Meow Wolf Omega Mart’s Echoes of Excellence committee and Manifest Academy, the event features two distinct activations: a Juneteenth Community Celebration from noon to 7 p.m. and a visit from the Clark County School District’s (CCSD) Book Bus from 2 to 4 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public.
Inside The Wall, guests can experience live poetry and performances throughout the day, including singer and songwriter Zoe Johnson performing at 1:30 p.m., beat producer MayneFrame at 2:30 p.m., spoken word artist Poetic V at 4:30 p.m. and percussive dance ensemble Molodi at 6:30 p.m. AREA15 will also feature a curated vendor marketplace celebrating Black creators as well as a food truck. A mini history museum will also be on display, offering educational insights into the significance and lasting impact of Juneteenth.
From 2 to 4 p.m., CCSD’s Book Bus will be stationed at AREA15’s west door. Every school-age child who boards the mobile library will receive two complimentary books. This activation supports youth literacy and provides access to diverse stories by Black authors, reinforcing the importance of inclusive education and storytelling.
“AREA15 is proud to offer a space where our community can come together to reflect, learn and celebrate Black history and culture,” said Jennifer Falcione, associate director of programming and strategy, AREA15. “By collaborating with partners such as Omega Mart’s Echoes of Excellence committee and Manifest Academy, we aim to foster meaningful experiences that inspire dialogue, creativity and connection.”
