Juneteenth dates back to June 19, 1865, and is the oldest known annual observance commemorating the abolishment of slavery in the United States. Juneteenth became a celebration of freedom and achievement, gathering family and communities with food, entertainment, spiritual and religious ceremonies, and cultural storytelling. Today, Juneteenth takes on a symbol of pride in African American experiences and ancestral roots that is recognized annually across the country.
Juneteenth Freedom Celebration is presented by BIPOC Orange County in partnership with the City of Irvine. Visit irvinejuneteenth.com for more information, including how to become a sponsor or a vendor.
