Brooklyn is hosting various events to celebrate Juneteenth, a holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Initially celebrated on January 1, it gained broader recognition and events began centering on June 19. This year, events include a community garden meal workshop on June 14 and a food festival on June 19, celebrating Black culture through food and community engagement. These events invite both history and celebration, allowing all attendees to participate in this significant observance.
"Many of the events take place on the actual holiday, but there are also offerings to enjoy the weekend before and after."
"This year, Brooklynites can celebrate Juneteenth with a full calendar of events that mix a bit of history with some joyful celebrations."
