Juneteenth Celebration featuring Darryl Buchanan
June 19 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Celebrate Juneteenth, a historic day that marks the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans in the United States.
This family-friendly event presented by Indiana Black Expo – Elkhart Chapter will feature local nonprofit organizations, vendors, food trucks, and a free concert showcasing Darryl Buchanan.
Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) commemorates June 19, 1865, when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas—two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation—to ensure that all enslaved people were freed. It is the longest-running African American holiday and became a federal holiday in 2021.
This event will also serve as the kickoff to the 2025 Elkhart Jazz Festival.
