Our Friends at Sanctuary Covenant Church are hosting a Juneteenth Family Festival. Here is the event description:
As we celebrate our community, our history, our culture and our roots we will gather on Saturday, June 15th to celebrate Juneteenth 2024. Juneteenth commemorates the date in 1865 when news of the emancipation of African American slaves reached Galveston, Texas.
The official name of federal holiday is Juneteenth National Independence Day, also called Emancipation Day, Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Black Independence Day, and Juneteenth Independence Day.
This year is the SECOND YEAR that Juneteenth is a State Holiday in the State of Minnesota are we are thrilled to be back in person celebrating again.
We will have a host of activities including a Stage with a Live DJ, Food Court, Kid’s Zone, Community Health Fair, Black Business Marketplace Area, Local Artists & Entertainment, African Face and Body Painting, Games, Giveaway’s & More!
