NAACP Juneteenth Celebration  

Juneteenth — a combination of the words “June” and “nineteenth” — is a holiday that commemorates June 19, 1865, when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom, marking the effective end of slavery in the United States. The NAACP Santa Clarita Branch invites the community to gather, reflect, and celebrate the 3rd Annual Juneteenth Celebration Family Day in the Park. Attendees are encouraged to bring their picnic blankets, lawn chairs, shade tents and loved ones to enjoy a beautiful day outside filled with live music, dancing, food trucks, interactive children’s activities, and a diverse marketplace showcasing local vendors. The event is free to attend.
