Juneteenth Festival

This Festival will be held at Lorenszi Park, on the 19^th and 20^th: at the Sammy Davis Jr Festival Plaza. What a great way to spend Father’s Day, or treat dad to both days.  There is no cost, open to the public.

This festival recognizes the 19^th as the day, the slaves in Galveston, TX were told by Gen Gordon Granger about the emancipation proclamation, and that they were now free. 

There will be story telling, Guest speaker, food, exhibits.  This is a great way to further your children’s and your knowledge of history.
