Pleasant United Methodist Church at their Juneteenth Fest.Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when word of the Emancipation Proclamation and enforcement via Union Troops arrived in Texas, ordering the freedom of more than 250,000 enslaved Black Texans. Juneteenth is now observed annually on June 19, celebrating emancipation across the nation.Maryland was a state that practiced slavery but did not secede from the Union.

Pleasant UM Church's Juneteenth festival will include food truck and baked good sales, and fun and games for all ages.Peerless Rockville Historic Preservation Ltd. is supported in part by a grant from the City of Rockville and funding from the Montgomery County Government and the Arts & Humanities Council of Montgomery County.
