Soul Liberation: A Frankie Knuckles House Music Celebration
@ Kenwood Gardens
6929 S Kenwood Ave, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Sunday, August 27th, from 1PM - 7PM
Join us on Sunday, August 27, as we celebrate the Godfather of House Music Frankie Knuckles’ legacy with friends, house music, and fellowship in our urban oasis at Kenwood Gardens on the South Side.
Dance into fall with live house music sets Fathom DJ, DJ Greg Gray, CTRLZORA, DJ Celeste Alexander, Blesstonio, and DJ Duane Powell, and access community resources that honor Frankie’s pioneering curation of liberatory space through movement and music.
Rebuild Foundation is the proud steward of the Frankie Knuckles Collection – an archive comprised of objects, ephemera and the late Godfather of House Music’s personal vinyl collection – made possible by our partnership with the Frankie Knuckles Foundation. Through our archival work, we are committed to preserving and amplifying Black music, cultural histories, and Frankie’s legacy.
Food and drink from local vendors will be available for purchase, in addition to a pop-up market by Chicago-based creative and wellness entrepreneurs. Please note that this event will take place outdoors.
