Denver’s Juneteenth Music Festival will only be one day this year due to corporate sponsors pulling back
By Kyle Harris, Denverite
Corporate sponsors have pulled back support for Denver’s Juneteenth Music Festival, forcing organizers to cut an entire day of programming and turn the weekend celebration into a one-day event.
The JMF Corporation, the nonprofit that runs the festival, has also launched an emergency fundraising campaign to raise an additional $80,000.
