    Jun 11, 2024 | 2:00 pm

    The federal holiday Juneteenth symbolizes the end of slavery and the beginning of freedom, and has its roots in Texas. To celebrate this culturally and historically significant holiday — which falls this year on Wednesday, June 19 — come enjoy a weekend-long series of free events June 14-16, hosted by Houston First Corporation, that includes music, art, food, and Black-owned business spread all across Avenida Houston, Discovery Green, and Miller Outdoor Theatre.

    June 14-15: Music at Miller Outdoor Theatre
    Take a poignant exploration of Black music’s evolution in this year’s presentation of “Juneteenth: A Musical Journey Through Eras.” From classic R&B to gospel, blues, and hip hop, this production highlights the heartfelt lyrics that echo social upheavals and the quest for equality, while also paying homage to the indomitable spirit of Black communities and the diverse expressions of Black artistry.

    • Friday, June 14, 8 pm: The journey begins with a musical retrospective spanning 1960 to 1980, spotlighting the smooth sounds, raw emotions, introspection, and reflection of struggles during the Civil Rights Movement.
    • Saturday, June 15, 8 pm: The second evening spotlights the 1980s through the 2000s with a focus on the eras' blending of powerful force and gritty narratives that chronicle the realities of urban life and systemic injustices, all to infectious beats.

    June 16: Culture Fest at Avenida Houston + Discovery Green

    Latin superstar Karol G brings global tour to Houston in September

    Karol G will perform at AT&T Stadium in Houston on September 27.

    Colombian singer Karol G, fresh off a headlining performance at Coachella, will capitalize on that exposure with a world tour that will come to the newly renamed Reliant Stadium on September 27, 2026.

    Starting on July 24 in Chicago, Illinois, the “Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour" - which literally means "traveling around the world" - will stop in 39 cities around the globe over the course of exactly one year, ending in Milan, Italy on July 24, 2027.

    In addition to Houston, Karol G will play Texas shows in San Antonio on September 2, El Paso on September 6, and Arlington on October 15.

    The tour will see the singer become the first Latina artist to headline stadiums across Europe as part of a global tour.

    The first Latina artist to headline Coachella, Karol G has slowly but surely made her way into superstar status.

    After appearing on the Colombian music competition show El Factor X at age 14, she released multiple songs independently before putting out her debut album, Unstoppable, in 2017.

    That album went to No. 2 on Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart, and each of her subsequent four albums has gone to No. 2 or No. 1 there. Each of her last two albums, most recently Tropicoqueta in 2025, made the top 3 on the overall Billboard 200.

    Karol G has also collaborated with many other big Latin stars, including fellow Colombian Shakira, Becky G, Peso Pluma, Anuel AA, J Balvin, and more.

    Tickets for the tour, promoted by Live Nation, will be available starting on Monday, April 27 through various presales.

    To be eligible for the artist presale in the USA, Canada, and Europe, fans must register at karolgmusic.com by Friday, April 24 at 9 am.

    General on-sale timing will vary by market. Fans should check karolgmusic.com for specific details regarding their city.
