Come experience our free community event building upon statewide efforts toward aligning our Title 5 U.S Federal Juneteenth Holiday throughout the Great State of California and beyond.

Our California State Legislature will one day align with our Juneteenth Federal Holiday in mutual respect and appreciation upgrading from a third Saturday in June, quasi-optional Day of Observance, in official statute today.

Throughout our great state of California, the fifth largest economy on earth, we continue to encourage public municipalities, state agencies, California corporations and multi-national corporations to align with our Title V, U.S. Federal Juneteenth Holiday while building mutually beneficial relationships year round.

Together, we prepare for a very special 2026 Juneteenth California season showcasing our unique “California Journey From Slavery to Freedom,” to include a special recognition of 1,918 United States Colored Troop enlistees from California, memorialized by the U.S. Civil War Museum in Washington, D.C.

From sea to shining sea and beyond, our long and arduous journey continues as we march toward an official paid State of California Juneteenth Holiday aligned with our Title V U.S. Federal Holiday.

Come experience Juneteenth exhibits, music, spoken word, food, and fashion.

Juneteenth is our global milestone and part of the close of our U.S. Civil War in 1866.
Dia de Los Negros, June 19, 1867, is an unspoken part of our Mexican Juneteenth experience, but is a powerful and growing tradition from along the RIo Grande River Basin and betons.

2026 California State Capitol Juneteenth will conclude with a special “Fandango Block Party” for all Californians who are open to a broader opportunity to pause and discover our unique history as we reconnect with our extended global Pan African family both at home and abroad.

All sales final, no refunds allowed.
