About

Juneteenth! at the Museum Live Music and Dance by Non Stop Bhangra, DJ set by Lychy Jelly, and Gallery Chats This Friday Night at OMCA turns up the energy with vibrant rhythms, cultural celebration, and nonstop movement. Non Stop Bhangra takes over the Garden Stage with an immersive, high-energy experience celebrating the music and dance of Punjab, India. Featuring live drumming, DJs, dance performances, and interactive lessons, this joyful, all-ages dance party invites everyone to jump in, let loose, and feel the beat. Keeping the vibes flowing, Lychy Jelly delivers a powerful DJ set rooted in sound that hits with the intensity of a festival mainstage and yet has the familiar warmth of home. This duality, coupled with the duo’s electric stage presence, pulls the crowd into an experience that feels massive and yet profoundly intimate. Alongside an exceptional event experience, Friday Nights at OMCA also features Gallery Chats from 5:30–7:30 pm. Moving beyond the traditional museum tour, Gallery Chats invite visitors to engage in conversation, ask questions, and connect with OMCA facilitators who blend content expertise with lived experience to spark meaningful dialogue and new perspectives. Gallery Chat facilitators can be found in OMCA’s Great Hall Special Exhibitions and the Core Galleries of California Art, History, and Natural Sciences. Gallery Chats are included with Museum admission. Facilitators float between galleries throughout the night and can be seen wearing a blue “Let’s Chat” shirt.
