Juneteenth
Come out and learn the origins of Juneteenth , and why the holiday is such a good reason to celebrate! It’s the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865 in Galveston, Texas, the last enslaved people learned of their freedom. The month of June and the nineteenth day were combined to form the word Juneteenth. The African American Emancipation Day, Juneteenth became a state holiday in Texas in 1980, then in 2021 Juneteenth became a federal holiday. Join us as we celebrate African American culture at this year’s Juneteenth festival on Saturday June 18. The festival will be held at Watkins Park Regional Park.
