Why Juneteenth Matters:

Juneteenth holds deep significance in the Black community, symbolizing freedom and the end of slavery. It marks the day in 1865 when news of emancipation reached Galveston, Texas, effectively freeing the last enslaved individuals in the Confederate states. This day reminds us of the ongoing struggle for equality and justice.

Parade and Festival Highlights:

Juneteenth Parade: Be part of our lively parade through the heart of Richmond. Celebrate freedom, diversity, and unity as we march together.

Festival Activities: Enjoy live music, dance performances, cultural displays, local vendors, delicious food, and family-friendly activities throughout the day.

Promoting Peace and Unity:

As we celebrate freedom, let’s also come together to promote peace and solidarity within our community. Juneteenth is a time to reflect on our history, acknowledge the challenges ahead, and stand together in pursuit of a more just and equitable society.

Get Involved:

Whether you’re interested in participating, volunteering, or attending, everyone is welcome to join us for this special occasion. Let’s honor Juneteenth and the resilience of the Black community.
