A Meal on the House, With Love

This Juneteenth, and let’s be real, every Juneteenth before and every Juneteenth after, Smack Dab is honoring Black freedom, Black joy, Black resilience, and the Black neighbors, friends, families, makers, leaders, caregivers, creators, elders, kids, and community members who make this world better just by being in it.

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, but it is also a reminder of how long freedom was denied. It reminds us that Black people in this country were enslaved, exploited, harmed, dismissed, erased, and treated like they were less than fully human.

And we would love to say that kind of harm is only history. But we know better. So this day matters. The remembering matters. The celebrating matters. The feeding people matters.

On Juneteenth, anyone who self-identifies as Black is welcome to come into Smack Dab and receive a free meal on the house. No hoops. No proof. No explanation.

Just come in, be fed, and let us celebrate you.
