Since Summer 2001, Sacramento's Juneteenth festival has celebrated and educated the community about 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 weekend is a family-friendly celebration and includes two stages of live entertainment, vendors, children's activities, Tribute to the Buffalo Soldiers and Tuskegee Airmen, Fraternity Row, fishing derby, parade, Juneteenth Educational Theater, spoken word/poetry, cultural dance performances, The Juneteenth Talent Show, The Juneteenth Golf Tournament, and more!

7pm-9:30pm: Gospel Under the Stars

Saturday:
