Frequently asked questions
Juneteenth has also been called: Jubilee Day, Freedom Day, Emancipation Day, and Cel-Liberation Day. Juneteenth traces its origins back to Galveston, Texas, where on June 19th, 1865, Union Soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed in the city with news that slaves were free.
There are many ways to celebrate Juneteenth. For some, it’s eating barbecue, shooting fireworks, singing and dancing, going to special church services, gathering at a cookout and sipping on red drinks. For others, it’s shopping only at Black-owned businesses, sharing history, or resting at home.
Attending our events is FREE and easy. We have everything you need at the event including seating, shade areas, water, and food. We recommend that people bring their own water as it will be a hot summer day!
