About this Event



Chicago’s Premier Juneteenth Fashion Show, ltural Experience 2026Cultural Experience & Day Party

Chicago… this is what happens when culture, ownership, fashion, and community decide to stop waiting for opportunities and start building them.

ROOTED is not just an event.
It’s a movement.

On June 18, 2026, ROOTED brings together Chicago’s rising designers, entrepreneurs, artists, influencers, and cultural leaders for an elevated Juneteenth experience centered around Black excellence, economic empowerment, creativity, and ownership.

This is where fashion meets purpose.
This is where networking meets opportunity.
This is where culture meets elevation.

If you've been looking for something different from the typical Juneteenth festival, this is it.


What Makes ROOTED Different

ROOTED was created to celebrate freedom not just through history — but through visibility, ownership, entrepreneurship, and circulation of Black dollars within our own community.

We got tired of being overlooked.
We got tired of waiting for doors.
So we built one.

And when we walk through it… we’re not walking through alone.

At ROOTED:
• Creatives get seen
• Businesses get supported
• Designers get platforms
• Entrepreneurs get exposure
• Culture gets elevated
• Community gets poured back into

Because our philosophy is simple:

Everybody eats.
Everybody elevates.
Everybody expands.
