What is Juneteenth?
Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, is an American holiday to celebrate on June 19. On June 19, 1865, the Emancipation Proclamation was read to the last remaining enslaved African Americans in the Confederacy. 
 
The Women’s Center will be riding in the parade in cars to keep with health safety precautions. You are invited to meet up with us, caravan to the parade together to line up for the parade. The route ends at Peter Atkins Park for food and tabling.

Wear a mask - we will have some to hand out.
