Juneteenth, observed on June 19, is a monumental date for African American communities in the United States, marking the end of slavery in 1865. Although the Emancipation Proclamation was announced in 1863, it took more than two years and the continuation of the Civil War before slavery officially ended in all Confederate states on June 19, 1865. Most City offices are closed in observance of Juneteenth on June 19 and 20. On Juneteenth, join us 3-7 p.m. at Centennial Lakes Park for a community celebration to mark this monumental milestone in our country’s history.
