Juneteenth celebrations have been well underway all month, with major festivities taking place this week. This year’s events have ranged from intimate prayer circles to full-on national concerts on the White House lawn — and everything in between. 

That said, if you’re looking for ways to celebrate, there are still plenty of events to check out coming up on Wednesday and through the weekend. Los Angeles will play host to not one but two major concerts featuring T-Pain and Kendrick Lamar. Over in Washington, D.C., multiple Smithsonian museums have slated cultural events. The city of Atlanta will also be throwing a major fete involving a parade and music festival this weekend. 

In other words, if you want to be out and about this Juneteenth and indulge in a little culture, you have some options. Below, we’ve gathered eight events happening around the country this year celebrating Juneteenth through the arts, both on and after Juneteenth.
