This event is open to the general public and we welcome furry friends.
This is where we will honor Juneteenth through a commemorative flag raising.
Typically a one hour program at Lowell, Massachusetts City Hall with a short program of guest speakers, and an opening acapella presentation.
Juneteenth (officially Juneteenth National Independence Day) is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States.
The name is a combination of the words "June" and "nineteenth", as it is celebrated on the anniversary of June 19, 1865, when some of the last enslaved persons were informed that slavery effectively ended in the United States.
