Juneteenth Idaho

Juneteenth Idaho, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to supporting and uplifting Black communities in Idaho and the Inland Northwest by providing resources and support for Juneteenth celebrations. The events, designed by Black artists and leaders, prioritize using Idaho Black-owned businesses and aim to create a thriving and equitable community. Since 2019, the organization has given away over 5000+ free meals, distributed $100,000+ in mutual aid, and hosted inclusive events under the umbrella of the Indigenous Idaho Alliance.

What is Juneteenth?

Juneteenth, originating from the emancipation of slaves in Texas on June 19, 1865, is celebrated nationwide as a day of freedom, with cookouts and community events highlighting Black culture. Boise, Idaho, began city-wide celebrations in the 1990s, evolving into larger events organized by groups like The Black Liberation Collective. In 2021, Juneteenth was federally recognized as a holiday, and Juneteenth Idaho, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, was formed to support celebrations and empower Black artists and organizers in Idaho and the Inland Northwest.

It’s been nearly a month since our Juneteenth Celebrations, and we would love to thank everyone who made this year possible!

Boise, just like the rest of the nation, let alone the world, is in dire need of community; to all who participated at our events, thank you for simply being in community with us.

Can’t wait to see what the rest of the year and next Juneteenth brings!
We want to thank everyone who came to our Skate Night on the June 18th! 🛼 It was filled with amazing food, amazing music, amazing people, hosted at, of course, an amazing venue! Thank you @skate.treasurevalley for hosting.

Thank you to everyone who attended we can’t wait to see what our future events bring! 🪩
Happy Juneteenth, everyone! 🌟

This year, we’re not hosting any events on Juneteenth because we believe today should be a day of true celebration and relaxation for Black people. It’s a time to honor our heritage, reflect on our journey, and simply enjoy the freedom we’ve fought so hard for. 

For everyone else, we encourage you to use this day to learn, reflect, and educate yourselves about the significance of Juneteenth and the ongoing fight for equality. 

Your support means the world to us. If you’d like to contribute to our efforts, please consider donating at juneteenthidaho.org. 

Let’s celebrate, reflect, and grow together. ✊🏾❤️

PSA: We celebrated Juneteenth for a week straight and…

Our Juneteenth 2024 Freedom Shirts are now LIVE online and available to order! As we continue to share the celebration of unification, affirming the love and talents we have within community by ‘giving our flowers’ was a tremendous inspiration for this year’s design. We were specifically inspired by these mantras of showing up for Black folks as our own heroes/heroines - on freedom day, and everyday.

We’re also THRILLED to announce that this year, we enlisted one of our own @ashleyt.barkley of @trulyfittedstyle to design the Juneteenth design. Ashley specializes in decorative and modern decor, drawing inspiration from a continuum spanning Black American fashions and lifestyle, modern font aesthetics and print design.

100% of proceeds from all sales will benefit Idaho Black Mutual Aid efforts. All orders placed by June 19th at 12pm MT are guaranteed June 19th local delivery. For bulk orders (quantities over 10) and wholesale, please reach out to our team via email Juneteenthboi@gmail.com.
