Now that you know more about Juneteenth, are you feeling like celebrating? Here are some suggested ways of celebrating the day respectfully.   

How to Celebrate Juneteenth
Learn about the traditions associated with the event and how to meaningfully engage with the festivities in both big and small ways.  

Please note that there are multiple perspectives to Juneteenth - some not so celebratory - including the fact that it took two-and-a-half years after the Emancipation Proclamation became law for some people to learn of and gain their freedom. It is wise to be mindful of these complexities and respectful of different ways people choose to recognize and experience the day.
