This year, we’re excited to host the block party at Dixon Park, one of Clarksville’s most historic parks, named in honor of devoted community leaders Nace and Nannie Dixon.

The Clarksville Juneteenth Block Party is more than just an event—it’s a tribute to the resilience and spirit of the Black community. With live music, local businesses, family-friendly fun, one of the hottest dj’s in the city, and so much more, the event offers something for everyone. Whether you come out to hit the electric slide with the fam, discover local artisans, or enjoy delicious food from our local vendors, there’s no shortage of excitement.

Block parties have long been a significant tradition in the Black community across America. Originating in the early 20th century, these gatherings were a way for communities to come together, celebrate cultural heritage, and create spaces for unity and expression. From music and dance to food and fellowship, block parties became vital expressions of joy and resilience, especially in African American neighborhoods. In today’s world, they continue to provide a platform for socializing, celebrating, and preserving cultural identity.

This year, we are proud to host the block party in Dixon Park. With deep historical roots, the park holds a special place in the hearts of the Black community and is the perfect setting to honor the legacy of Juneteenth. We look forward to creating an unforgettable experience that celebrates freedom, family, and the rich history of our community.
