Saturday - Juneteenth

 

Juneteenth commemorates the ending of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, the last group of slaves in the south were informed that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. In 2021, Juneteenth became a national U.S. holiday. 

Saturday, the La Crosse area will celebrate the history and highlight present day victories and challenges. This event is free and open to all.

The event will last from noon to 7 p.m. in Riverside Park. Dress for the weather! Bring your water bottle!
