Event Description

Juneteenth marks the date in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas (one of the furthest corners of the Confederate South) learned that the Civil War had ended and they were now free. Now, each year, people from across the globe gather on or around this day to celebrate.

 

Visit the African American Museum in Philadelphia on Saturday, June 20th, between 10am and 5pm, to experience exhibits and artifacts, music and presentations about life during the Civil War Era as well as costumed re-enactors and historians from the United States Colored Troops 3rd Regiment.

 

Grab a bite to eat at one of our food trucks, then get your face painted or pick up a balloon animal on the way to arts and crafts, live performances and more in this indoor-outdoor day of family fun!
