Though the Emancipation Proclamation was given by Abraham Lincoln in 1863, the beginning of the end of slavery wouldn’t be recognized until some time later - June 19, 1865. The Juneteenth Freedom Festival exists to share the history of slavery and to memorialize its ending. We honor the sacrifice of our ancestors, & share the cultural heritage of slaves and their descendants through entertainment, art, education, and an ever-present, always-developing sense of community.
