A celebration of culture, creativity, and community—taking place Juneteenth weekend in Portland
PORTLAND, OR | June 21, 2025—Bloom Runway returns triumphantly after a five-year hiatus with Dynasty IX: Crowned in Legacy, an immersive fashion experience showcasing visionary BIPOC designers. Held at The Melody Ballroom, this year’s show is more than a comeback—it’s a cultural statement closing out Juneteenth week with style, substance, and soul.
We are excited to be chosen out 250 recipients to present with 9 other incredible black owned business to present at Portland’s own Pitch Black.
