Town of Eatonville's Juneteenth Celebration
Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and is an important occasion for our community to come together to celebrate freedom. Our Juneteenth celebrations will take place on June 14-19th, 2024 in the Historic Town of Eatonville FL. Our theme this year is “Empowering Resilience, Celebrating Freedom, and Reclaiming our Unity”. Events will feature a Youth STEAM explosion, senior citizen celebration, vendors, entertainment, Father’s Day specials and so much more. This weekend will provide an opportunity for members of our community to learn about the significance of Juneteenth and celebrate the achievements and contributions of African Americans throughout history.
