Description

Join Us In Celebrating Tybee MLK Human Right Organization 3rd Annual Juneteenth Festival on Tybee Island! Last year we had a blast! We are excited to do it again at memorial park on Tybee Island. "Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of African-American slaves. It is also often observed for celebrating African-American culture. Originating in Galveston, Texas, it has been celebrated annually on June 19 in various parts of the United States since 1865." The TybeeMLK Juneteenth Celebration will be held for two days and is a family friendly event for all. On June 19th there will also be a Wade In led by Patt Gunn on the Beach giving acknowledgment to our ancestors who came from Africa and the sacrifices they made. It is a way of giving back and honoring through cleansing, drumming and storytelling. This will take place at 9am on the pier. *TybeeMLK Juneteenth Event: Saturday, June 17, 2023 11:00am - 7:00pm Sunday, June 18, 2023 11:00am - 7:00pm Location: Memorial Park 401 Jones Ave, Tybee Island, Ga 31328 *Wade In Ceremony: Monday, June 19, 2023 9:00am - 11:00am Location: Tybrisa St. Tybee Island, Ga 31328 What to Expect: Vendors, Food Trucks, Bands, Spoken Word Poets, Storytelling, Kids Arts & Crafts Table, Drummers, Jazz, Soul, Live DJ bringing Reggae, Soca, and Afro Beat Vibes! *Interested in becoming a Vendor, Performing Artist or Sponsor: Contact Event Coordinator Rafaela Johnson [email protected] Linktr.ee Vibez4me IG @rafeys.vibez4me We are looking forward to seeing you this year at TybeeMLK Juneteenth 2023, please mark these days in your calendars.
