UCAC Juneteenth Celebration @ St. Mary's County Fairgrounds

The Unified Committee For Afro-American Contributions is excited to host the twenty-first annual Juneteenth African American Heritage Celebrations. A free, fun, event for all ages! This year we are featuring the Ni Dembaya African Drum and Dance Ensemble (above), Ms. Story (below), and the band SIXX (below). The event always includes opportunities for learning as well as entertainment with workshops, exhibits, art activities, living history, music, and a variety of vendors. We encourage you to bring your own lawn chairs - seating will be limited. All are welcome to spend the day in the park enjoying live music, speakers, workshops, food, community, and fun.

Juneteenth is a National Holiday commemorating and celebrating the end of slavery in America - a day of reflection, a day of renewal, a pride-filled day. It is a day for all Americans to come together to reflect on our past as a nation, celebrate the African American experience, and begin to build a brighter future together.
