Featuring sounds by DJ Kream and with Tayleur Crenshaw of Gold Beams as co-MC for the People’s Mic, The Freedom Function draws inspiration from historic rent parties and the enduring power of gathering.

‍

Come ready to jump into spades, UNO, and dominoes, test your knowledge with Black trivia, and move through a night shaped by music, conversation, and collective energy. Centered around the prompt, “What does it take to get free?”, participants can jump on the People’s Mic to share poems, passages, thoughts, stories, songs, or special messages with the community.

‍

Guests can also enjoy soul food, wine, and a signature cocktail served in keeping with the Juneteenth tradition of the “red drink.” In the spirit of collective support, suggested donations of $5 at the door are welcomed and will go directly toward cash prizes for the winners of each game.

‍

Whether you’re here to play (compete), vibe, or simply be in community, The Freedom Function centers joy as a practice and freedom as something we create together.

‍

Guests are encouraged (but not required) to wear red in honor of Juneteenth—a visual tribute to resilience, remembrance, and celebration.

‍

Come through, bring your people, and take part in an evening of culture, connection, and play.
