What is Juneteenth?

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, with the news that the more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state were free. This day came to be known as Juneteenth, now officially a federal holiday.

What to Expect:

The Juneteenth Celebration & Concert will feature live music, captivating performances, black-owned business vendors, food trucks, and much more. The event promises something for everyone, with activities and attractions that celebrate African American culture, history, and contributions to America.

Everyone is Welcome:

The Juneteenth Celebration & Concert is free and open to the public. Attendees are encouraged to bring their families and friends to enjoy this vibrant celebration of African American culture.
