Join us for an uplifting, engaging and all-around fun time at our annual Juneteenth Freedom Day Celebration. This free, family-friendly event will be an evening filled with music, enrichment, creativity, and most importantly connection. Be inspired to hear of the resilience, strength, and faith of enslaved Africans of the past and the hope and fight for a better world presently and for the future.
Juneteenth, officially recognized as a federal holiday in 2021, commemorates June 19, 1865, the day enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned of their freedom more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. This day symbolizes liberation, progress, and the ongoing journey toward justice and equality.
Admission is FREE. All are welcome.
This Juneteenth Celebration will be a wonderful opportunity to come together, learn, share, and commemorate this pivotal moment in history. Whether you come for community connection, engaging performances, or tasty foods, this Juneteenth celebration is sure to be a good time you won’t want to miss.
Juneteenth is made possible by the collective efforts of the Juneteenth committee that includes Perkins Center for the Arts, MooreUnity, Curate Noir and community members.
