Juneteenth

Juneteenth Celebration

πŸ“ Kelty Field | πŸ“… June 19, 2025 | ⏰ 6:00–8:00 PM

Join us as we gather in joy and unity to commemorate Juneteenth, a day that honors the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and celebrates Black freedom, culture, and excellence.

This evening is more than just an event β€” it’s a celebration of resilience, community, and the continued journey toward equity and justice.

🎧 DJ Carlos will be setting the vibe with music that moves the soul.
πŸ”₯ BBQ by the Fire Department β€” chicken, ribs, and good eats, because what’s a celebration without food that brings people together?

We invite everyone in our community to come together in solidarity β€” to honor the past, celebrate the present, and look ahead to a future of freedom for all.
