The 2022 Juneteenth Festival will commemorate the end of slavery in the United States. We are also celebrating the HB 227 bill which establishes Juneteenth National Independence Day as a State legal holiday and State employee holiday. We are excited to gather the community drum circle, farmers’ market, poetry performances, genealogy resources, and family-friendly activities.
