Juneteenth Block Party

June 19, 2024 @ 2:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Join For The Culture Hawaii at the Juneteenth Block Party: a day filled with music, food, and fun. Celebrate freedom and unity with live performances, delicious eats from local vendors, and activities for all ages including a Keiki Zone with bounce houses for the kids. Come together to celebrate and honor Juneteenth; a truly important day in American history.

”Juneteenth celebrates June 19, 1865—the day when enslaved people in Texas received word that US Civil War had ended and they were free. It was the first time in almost 250 years that there was no legal slavery in North America. We’re observing Juneteenth in Hawai‘i to honor the hope our ancestors experienced in that moment as they reconnected to their kin and dreamed of generations to come. We carry their memories forward knowing we are not yet totally free, but also knowing that, through the practice of embodying freedom in our joy in being together, sharing our cultures, and envisioning a better world, we bring it forth.” — The Pōpolo Project
