20th Annual NC Juneteenth Celebration

The 20th Annual NC Juneteenth Celebration returns to the campus of North Carolina Central University on Saturday, June 21, with a vibrant, family-friendly festival honoring 160 years of freedom. From 1 PM to 8 PM, attendees will experience a dynamic lineup of live entertainment, cultural exhibits, health fair, an interactive kids’ zone, fashion show, and an array of diverse vendors and exhibitors offering everything from food to handmade goods.
