JUNETEENTH Celebration
In The Heart of Plaza Midwood

Each year, The Juneteenth Festival of The Carolinas celebrates the end of slavery, and the African American community is taking the opportunity to come together to reflect on and remember the historical event. The Juneteenth committee proudly schedules events that are carefully selected to maximize the experience for all who attend. This year is no different!
