Join us and celebrate the oldest nationally observed commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States!
Juneteenth marks the day the last enslaved people in the United States learned of their freedom. Today we commemorate this event nationwide as people come together to enjoy food, music, and the arts while learning about the history of the African American people, their culture, and achievements. Bring your family and friends for an afternoon of celebration!
Featuring live entertainment, arts activities, food and shopping exhibitors, history exhibits, and more.
