What is Juneteenth?
Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, is a holiday commemorating the emancipation of those who were enslaved in the United States. The date of June 19th was chosen because it marks the day in 1865 when slaves in Galveston, Texas were finally informed of their freedom – two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.
In recent years, Juneteenth has become an increasingly popular celebration of African American freedom and culture, with festivals and other events held across the country. The Indiana Juneteenth Freedom Music Festival is one such event, featuring performances by local and national musicians, as well as food and drink vendors, craftsmen, and more. This year’s festival will also feature the What the Funk Tour, a lineup of some of the best funk bands in the country. So come out and celebrate Juneteenth with us – it’s sure to be a fun time for all!
