Special After Hours Black Rocks Juneteenth Celebration

Black Rocks x Touchstone: Juneteenth Climb & Celebration

Thursday, June 19th 6-9pm at Hollywood Boulders!

Pricing:
The $10 suggested donation gets you full access to Hollywood Boulders for the night (normally $30) and a raffle ticket. Additional donations are welcomed and encouraged! All proceeds go directly to Black Rocks' gear fund to help their members get the gear they need (ex. climbing shoes and crash pads) so they can keep growing, sending, and exploring in the sport they love.

Join Black Rocks and Touchstone Climbing for our biggest event yet — a powerful Juneteenth celebration that honors Black freedom, resilience, and joy through climbing, community, and culture.
This special evening is more than just a meetup — it's a gear fund fundraiser for Black Rocks, our monthly climbing group for the Black community. Come climb, dance and support local Black vendors!

We’re throwing down with:

• DJs provided by Arc’teryx
• A Black Business Marketplace
• A Tooth Gem Artist
• Flash Tattoos
• Game Room in the yoga room — featuring Spades, Dominoes, Uno, Connect 4 & more
• A stacked raffle

...plus climbing all night with the Black Rocks crew!

Why Black Rocks?
We started Black Rocks to create a safe and joyful space for Black climbers to connect, climb, and be celebrated in the climbing world. While this space was created by and for Black folks, everyone is welcome to join in and show love.

What is Juneteenth?
Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the U.S., when the last enslaved Black Americans in Texas were finally freed in 1865, two years after slavery was legally abolished. It reminds us of the brutal reality of slavery: generations of people violently stripped of freedom, dignity, and basic human rights. Juneteenth honors their suffering, resilience, and the ongoing fight for justice and true equality.

New to climbing? No worries - this is a perfect event to try it out and they'll be plenty of non-climbing activities as well.
