Denver Juneteenth Celebration

On June 19, 1985 slaves in Galveston, TX found out that they were free…fully two and a half years after The Emancipation Proclamation, which granted freedom to all American slaves on January 1, 1863.
Juneteenth commemorates this history and date.
At Juneteenth celebrations throughout the country, the horror of slavery is marked and African American history is honored.
The event will kick off with a parade.
There’ll be music, and food available for sale. This is a kid-friendly event.
