Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Join us for a FREE low-key, family-friendly re-celebration of Juneteenth on the Clemmons farm on Sunday, July 24 from 1 - 4 pm. This program was rescheduled because of the rain and windy weather on Juneteenth weekend (June 18th and 19th).
This year, Clemmons Family Farm's Juneteenth theme is "Building Legacies that Matter." We ask all visitors to the farm, young and old, "What legacy do you want to build and leave for the next generations?" In celebration of African American culture, freedoms and our human connectedness, we engage the community to consider this question through our Juneteenth arts and culture programs on the farm.
Attendees will experience traditional African-American storytelling, Clemmons family storytelling, and arts engagements with members of the Vermont African-American/African Diaspora Artists Network (VAAADAN). Attendees will have fun co-creating visual art, hip hop and poetry using their own silhouettes to express the legacies they want to build. Poetry, paper, markers, and other art supplies will be provided. Then, enjoy a beautiful live jazz music performance by vocalist Samirah Evans and her band.
PROGRAM:
Admission begins at 12:30 PM.
