Join us as we commemorate Juneteenth 2026 with a vibrant celebration of freedom, resilience, and culture! This year’s event honors the legacy of emancipation while embracing the power of education, unity, and action in our communities. Through music, art, storytelling, and fellowship, we reflect on the past and empower the future. Our motto, “Educate to Advocate…..then Activate,” guides this experience while encouraging us to learn our history, raise our voices, and create meaningful change. From youth activities to cultural performances, guest speakers to community resources, there’s something for everyone to enjoy and be inspired by. Come together with us in joy, pride, and purpose as we celebrate the spirit of Juneteenth—because freedom didn’t end in 1865, it continues to evolve through awareness, action, and unity!
