2025 JONB Celebration - Parade, Festival, and Fireworks

On June 14th, 2025 the Juneteenth Celebration Parade and Festival will begin with a Parade at 11 AM. It starts at the historical Henderson Park/Stanley White location, will go through the black business district on Broad St., and end in the“Big Field" area of the Craven Terrace Public Housing. We invite residents and tourists to bring their families out to enjoy a festival celebration with local and regional vendors, a youth basketball tournament, live music (DJ and a band) and food from 12-4 PM along Broad St. and Roundtree St. There will also be STEM vendors, a youth chalk contest, a Kids Korner with inflatables and water slides, cornhole boards, jump ropes, essay contest winners, free books, food, and more for over 800 visitors and attendees. A fantastic fireworks finale at the historical Stanley White Rec. demolition site will conclude the day's celebration at Henderson Park at sundown.
