From arts and culture to sporting events and everything in between, there’s something special to do almost every day in Downtown Arlington, including these events. No wonder Mayor Ross has proclaimed June to be Downtown Arlington Month!

SAT, JUNE 15
The 3rd annual Juneteenth Celebration at The Levitt is Sat, Jun 15 at Levitt Pavilion Arlington (100 W Abram St, 817-543-4308), hosted by MC Howard the Second and Winfred Dalcaour. The gate opens at 4pm and music starts at 5pm with opening act, Dallas-based neo-soul/jazz-funk band Celestial Clockwork. There will also be activities, food trucks, and vendors around the lawn.
Self-described as “just a bunch of chaotic nerds sharing their love of video games and nerd culture through the power of music,” Reggie T. & The Boneheads btings their brand of hip-hop, funk, jazz, R&B, and rock fusion, plus “a side of the good ol church,” at 7pm. Then, The Sensational Barnes Brothers headline at 10pm. Does their name ring a bell? RTTB has recorded with Dan Auerbach, the lead singer of The Black Keys. Known for a musical blend of old and new, they are “a real gem in the gospel/soul scene.”
