Juneteenth: West Broadway Block Party

Celebrate Black cultural heritage with Black Owned Business (BOB) Rewards Club at the Juneteenth Minnesota West Broadway Block Party. 

Our Streets is proud to sponsor this year’s event. The Bring Back 6th Mobile Museum will be presented by Our Streets at the event. Visit us on West Broadway to learn about old 6th Avenue North: a historic Black and Jewish community street that was destroyed to make way for Olson Memorial Highway. We’ll also have information about the future of Olson Memorial and our campaign to Bring Back 6th Avenue North by converting the highway back into a community-centered boulevard.
