Juneteenth, celebrated annually on June 19th, marks the end of slavery in the United States. The holiday, also called Emancipation Day, Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Juneteenth Independence Day, and Black Independence Day, became a federal holiday in 2021.

A couple ways to celebrate Juneteenth are:
Find or organize local activities by checking out resources on the National Museum of African American History and Culture or viewing regional listings.

Also, Metro Detroit celebrates Juneteenth in 2026 with a wide array of cultural festivals, parades, and block parties. Highlights include large-scale gatherings like the Juneteenth @ The Wright Museum, family-oriented events at Hamtramck Stadium, and the DABO Palooza Parade in Detroit.
