This Celebration marks the national holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved Americans and invites all residents and visitors to come together to celebrate African-American heritage and culture through food, music, dance, and story-telling. This event will also support local Black-owned businesses and showcase the variety of ways our community promotes equity and inclusion for residents and students of color from diverse backgrounds. Here's a link to photos of last year’s event.

 

Families Organizing for Racial Justice (FORJ) is proud to host the Newton Juneteenth Celebration in partnership with the Newton Coalition of Black Residents, FORJ NNHS and Myrtle Baptist Church. We are grateful for the generous support from the Harmony Foundation, Village Bank and Newton Cultural Council. This event wouldn’t be possible without the diligent efforts of the Juneteenth Celebration Steering Committee who plan and oversee Newton’s Juneteenth Celebration. It truly takes a village!
