In partnership with Evanston Present and Future, the City of Evanston will honor Juneteenth with the 6th Annual Juneteenth Parade and Celebrations on Saturday, June 21. 

Juneteenth (6/19) is a historic day that commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. It is a day of celebration, remembrance, and reflection and is now a federal holiday! In honor of this day, we are organizing the 6th Annual Juneteenth Parade to celebrate the Black community's resilience and contributions to our society.

The parade will provide an opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate the progress that has been made since Juneteenth, but also recognize the work that still needs to be done to achieve true equality while bringing more awareness by parading in the streets.
