Juneteenth Events Around The San Francisco Bay Area
We know it’s hard to stay connected sometimes as a community. We’re doing our best to compile a list of as many upcoming protests, rallies, vigils and clean-up events as possible.
Did we miss any events? Please email us at events_crew@funcheap.com with the date/time, details and any links you have.
Please note sometimes all we have are screenshots from Instagram so we can’t “vouch” for any of theses. Our goal is to share as many peaceful events as possible. If you have extra info, please let us know. Details can change rapidly and events may be canceled or changed at the last minute.
Make sure you still socially distance wherever possible and wear a mask.
