Comment on Facebook
In summer of 2001, Sacramento's Juneteenth festival joined the ranks of other American cities to celebrate, as well as educate the community on one of America's most important acts of legislation: the Emancipation Proclamation. Signed into law in 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation declared that all those enslaved were now free.
Sacramento's Juneteenth: A Celebration of Freedom Weekend is produced by the Sacramento Convention & Visitors Bureau under the direction of Gary Simon, Director of Multicultural Affairs, with the assistance of the Juneteenth Committee, a group of dedicated local residents who volunteer their time and energy to produce a successful and ever-growing event.
The Sacramento Juneteenth Festival takes place at William Land Park on the third weekend in June each year. It is a two-day event.
Saturday: Features two stages of live musical entertainment, vendors, children's activities, spelling bee, fishing derby, The Juneteenth Educational Theater, essay/poster contests, theater, cultural dance performances, and The Juneteenth Talent Show. Nearly 8,000 people attend Juneteenth annually.
Sunday: The 3rd annual Juneteenth Golf Tournament – a 9 hole Affair, Juneteenth Gospel Extravaganza featuring Sacramento’s best gospel artists, food/ware vendors, children’s’ activities and much more….
