What is Juneteenth?

Juneteenth is an important day in American History as it marks June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved African Americans in the rebelling states were notified that the Emancipation Proclamation would be enforced, announcing their legal freedom.

This is State College's fifth commemoration. Join us for food, music and dance during this fabulous festival. Be sure to save the date, invite friends, and family to attend the events.
