"Remembering Juneteenth" is aiming to bring awareness and educate our community about the importance of this date. Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free.

This event is picnic style, please bring your own chairs and blanket. Pack your own picnic or enjoy Woodbelly pizza (by donation). There will be music, speakers, an action table and dancing!

Masks are required and please practice social distancing.
