THEME: Homecoming

Homecoming as a Juneteenth theme is an invitation to return not just to a place, it is an invitation connected to our shared history, our collective memory, and our enduring strength. It is a powerful way to strengthen the connection between family, friends, and our shared legacy of resistance and survival. It calls us back to the truths that shape us.

This event brings together the community to honor a pivotal moment in American history through activities both educational and enjoyable.
