Juneteenth is the official Celebration of Emancipation from Slavery generally celebrated on June nineteenth. In honor of Father's Day and the weekend, we celebrate Juneteenth; this year before its actual day. There will be vendors selling crafts and food, activities for kids, games for parents and their children, a wonderful showcase, and great raffles prizes, and trivia are just a short list of activities that you will find throughout the day.
Juneteenth's Planning Committee 2023 is comprised of a team of talented individuals who are working to build the community's economic and cultural arts scene by providing holistic, dynamic, and unique vendors and performers a platform to showcase their skills.
With over 155 years of this anticipated commemoration in Brooklyn, NY, our 13th Annual Juneteenth family fun day and Summit gathers 5,000+ attendees locally to the NYC community to enjoy a vibrant day of rich culture through music, dance, poetry, skits, history, vendors, and families.
This year like every we have turned it up another notch. This year we are continuing our three-day summit since it was such a success last time, starting on Friday, June 17 and running through to June 19, 2022. We are leveling up this year's summit celebration that begins on Virtual Friday with professionals and residents talking about transformation in the Black Community. This session will also give our Black Business owners opportunities to advertise their business and products. The following day will be an In-person festival that will highlight our Black Men's contributions to the community, in a Gala like outdoor Brunch, ending the Summit with our one of a kind festival and entertainment show on Sunday.
RAIN or SHINE the show must go on!
