Additional Info Join us for the second annual Lancaster Juneteenth Celebration, “The Community’s Family Reunion.”

Local businesses, organizations, and residents throughout the Antelope Valley are coming together once again to celebrate FREEDOM, share messages of HOPE, and nurture commUNITY.

While President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863 to “free all persons held as slaves,” it was not until two and a half years later on June 19, 1865 when Federal troops marched into Galveston, Texas, that enslaved people in the last Confederate state learned of their freedom. This important event, followed by the passage of the 13th Amendment, officially marked the end of slavery in the United States. Let’s unite for what many call the second Independence Day in American History.

ALL are welcome to attend this FREE, “family-reunion” style celebration.

Prepare for various fun activities, including educational programming on Juneteenth, a morning worship service, family-friendly games, food, music, entertainment, dancing, a car and bike show, and so much more.

Following their emancipation, reunions became a way for formerly enslaved people to reconnect with family members they had been separated from. Today, reunions continue as a way to unite a community, fellowship with family, share information, and celebrate one’s heritage.

Break out your matching family t-shirts, grab your blankets and lawn chairs, and let’s come together in the spirit of family, commUNITY, and most importantly, FREEDOM.
