Saturday, June 21st • 12 pm – 10 pm • Lillis-Albina Park
Join us for a day of community, culture, and celebration at the Juneteenth Oregon Festival, hosted by Juneteenth Oregon.
Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and is a powerful reminder of the enduring struggle for freedom and equality. It marks the day on June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved people in Texas were informed of their liberation, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.
Habitat for Humanity Portland Region is proud to sponsor this significant event for the third year in a row. We honor the history of Juneteenth and are committed to promoting racial equity, justice, and community empowerment through our work. By supporting events like the Juneteenth Oregon Festival, we celebrate the rich cultural heritage and resilient spirit of the African American community.
Don’t miss this opportunity to join in the festivities and celebrate a crucial piece of our nation’s history. We look forward to seeing you there.
