Celebrate Juneteenth with Us!
Join us as we honor Juneteenth, a day of reflection, celebration, and unity. Recognized as a federal holiday, Juneteenth is observed on June 19th to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved individuals in the United States. This significant day traces its origins back to 1865 in Texas, marking the moment when the Emancipation Proclamation of 1862 was finally enforced, declaring freedom for all enslaved people in the state.
Festivities and Fun
We invite you to partake in a day filled with joy, community, and cultural appreciation. Here’s what you can look forward to at our celebration:

Cultural Performances: Experience a captivating performance by Manga African Dance, showcasing traditional African dance and storytelling.

Delicious Food: Savor a variety of culinary delights that pay homage to African American cuisine and heritage.

Giveaways: At check-in, receive a giveaway while supplies last.

Learn and Reflect
Beyond the festivities, Juneteenth is a moment to educate and reflect on the journey toward freedom and equality.
Together, let's celebrate African American freedom and resilience, and continue to promote understanding and unity. We look forward to seeing you there!
