I’m so grateful to have this wonderful community surrounding and supporting Eastville.”

This will be Eastville’s first Juneteenth Jubilee Awards Celebration. This celebration honors relationships that foster unity, shared goals to educate and illuminate awareness, advancing the collective cultural heritage and advocating for equality and empowering the greater community.

Singer Antoine Hilton was born and raised in New York and has been singing and creating music from a very young age. Hilton desired to write music that would capture the ears and spirits of young people growing up with negative influences. He has released singles that have graced stations such as WLIB, WTHE, HOT97, WBLS and Sirius radio from New York all the way to the UK. The success of his singles has garnered the attention of Hilton’s peers, earning him an Agape Award, McDonald’s Gospel Fest award, multiple awards from the Rhythm of Gospel Awards, Kingdom Choice Awards and many other nominations.

Tickets are $75 and can be purchased at ltveh.org. Proceeds benefit the Eastville Community Historical Society. LTV Studios is at 75 Industrial Road, Wainscott.
