Juneteenth Houston's 5th Annual Celebrate Freedom Fest

This event at Emancipation Park brings together seven historic Black communities in Houston to celebrate the richness of our culture, pay homage to the pioneers of Juneteenth, and experience jubilee in a way that is uniquely our own. Eat, drink, fellowship, and experience a wide array of events, activities, and activations culminating in an opening ceremony to kick off the 161st anniversary of Juneteenth celebrations in Houston!
