About this event
54th ANNUAL JUNETEENTH FESTIVAL & THE CLARA PEOPLES FREEDOM TRAIL PARADE
Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated remembrance of the ending of slavery in the United States and the newest holiday to be recognized both nationally and in the state. The celebration derives its name from the Proclamation issued on June 19, 1865, in Galveston, Texas, that declared all slaves free. In memory of this momentous occasion, Juneteenth marks that day with festivities to promote and cultivate knowledge and appreciation of African American history and culture.
Parade starts at 11 AM, at King Elementary School. The route goes down Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and culminates at Lillis Albina Park.
