2023 Leimert Park Summer Event Series

LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- Three South L.A. stakeholders have collaborated on their local, community events under the 2023 Leimert Park Summer Event Series. The summer series comprises three highly regarded annual events – Leimert Park Juneteenth Festival, Leimert Park Jazz Festival, and TEC Leimert Conference.

With these events having a high impact on the people of Los Angeles, event founders and producers, DJ Qwess Coast (Leimert Park Juneteenth Festival), Diane Robertson (Leimert Park Jazz Festival), and Rashidi Jones (TEC Leimert Conference) had the idea to combine their events in a series to showcase the historically rich neighborhoods of Leimert Park and South Los Angeles.  The historic Leimert Park community is highly regarded as the home for arts and culture, including such institutions as The World Stage, The Vision Theater, Barbara Morrison Performing Arts Center, KAOS Network, Fernando Pullum Community Arts Center, and Art + Practice.

"We are honored to host the nation's largest Juneteenth festival commemorating the nationally recognized holiday.  We love how our community has shown up to celebrate and uplift the importance of Juneteenth through art at the intersection of culture and commerce," said DJ QwessCoast, CEO of Still Rising Corp.  We are strongly committed to elevating creative entrepreneurial endeavors and innovation, financial inclusion, and social impact here in the epicenter of black arts and culture."
