Get ready to groove in the heart of historic Old Town Lewisville because the City of Lewisville has just dropped the beat on their upcoming Juneteenth Celebration concert. On June 14th, Wayne Ferguson Plaza is the place to be if you want to get down with some of the best jazz and R&B that DFW has to offer. Starting at 6 p.m., be prepared to feel the rhythm with the Don Diego Band, catch the sultry vibes with Joyce Spencer, and smooth out your evening with Fingerprints—three acts that promise to fill the air with music that's good for the soul, and free for the public.
According to a post from the City of Lewisville, Texas, the city is inviting everyone to kick back and enjoy the show. Don Diego Band is famously known to bring a high-energy performance that beautifully blends jazz, funk, and R&B into a concert-style extravaganza. With a platinum album under their belt and a history of touring with notable acts like B.B. King, these guys know how to get a crowd moving. Joyce Spencer, with her award-winning skills on the sax, flute, and as a vocalist, covers a range from jazz to gospel. Known for her performance at last year's Western Overseas festival, Spencer is set to grace the Lewisville stage once again.
Then, there's Fingerprints. If you haven't heard of this North Texas sextet, you’ve been missing out. They've been called one of the South's best-kept music secrets, and for good reason. Their blend of smooth jazz and soul is purported to be simply irresistible—they'll be making a triumphant return to Lewisville, having wowed audiences at the Juneteenth Celebration last year and during the 2018 Sounds of Lewisville concert series.
The concert is more than just a cultural festivity; it’s a reflection of the city’s commitment to inclusivity and progress. Spawned from the recommendation of the Mayor’s Commission – Listen Learn to Lead, it’s part of the ongoing 30 recommendations being actively implemented by the city. For those interested in keeping up to pace with the city’s strides toward these recommendations, you can take your look on the Listen Learn Lead page on the city's website. Moreover, this event ties in with the “Old Town” Big Move as part of the Lewisville 2025 vision plan, which is accessible for all at the city's online portal.
So, if you’re ready to shake up your normal routine and dive into an evening filled with lively tunes and soulful melodies, find your way to Wayne Ferguson Plaza at 150 W. Church Street. For out-of-towners or those not familiar with Lewisville’s charming nooks, just take exit 452 off Interstate 35E and follow the sound of the music—or, you know, Main Street to Charles Street. Parking is hassle-free and available along Main and Charles Streets or at Lewisville City Hall. For the community of Lewisville, this isn't just another concert; it’s a celebration of freedom, diversity, and the city’s vibrant culture. Admission is complimentary, with rhythms priceless.
