54th Juneteenth Festival

Featuring performers, vendors, and a basketball tournament, this MLK/Juneteenth 54th Festival recognizes Juneteenth, the “oldest celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the U.S.” According to juneteenth.com, these events emphasize achievement, education, reflection and celebration of African American freedoms. “In cities across the country, people of all races, nationalities and religions are joining hands to truthfully acknowledge a period in our history that shaped and continues to influence our society today. Sensitized to the conditions and experiences of others, only then can we make significant and lasting improvements in our society.” Saturday, June 15. 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Martin Luther King Jr. Park, 1671 Hendley St., Santa Rosa. tinyurl.com/3etw7tyb.
