In addition to this year’s massive Juneteenth Music Festival, which takes over Welton Street in Five Points Saturday, June 18, through Sunday, June 19, Colorado’s Front Range offers a refreshed slate of programming to mark the newly anointed federal and historically Black holiday, which started as a Texas-based celebration of slavery’s end in 1865.

Here are a few events to take note of while planning your calendar.

Denver dance legend Cleo Parker Robinson and her world-class ensemble and school will host a Juneteenth celebration at their Five Points theater this weekend, with a premiere reading by acclaimed poet Nikki Giovanni in collaboration with CRPD. Friday, June 17, includes an evening jazz concert with Giovanni and Javon Jackson, while Saturday, June 18, brings the daytime panel, poetry and dance performances, along with Giovanni’s keynote presentation. $30 per day, or $75 for VIP tickets. 119 Park Ave. West. 303-295-1759 or cleoparkerdance.org
