About the Event
Montgomery County’s 24th Juneteenth Celebration will be held at the BlackRock Center for the Arts located at 12901 Town Commons Drive in Germantown from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, June 19.
The event will feature traditional events like the award recognition ceremony and Juneteenth-inspired food. This year’s theme “Freedom at the Rock… Acknowledge, Educate, Celebrate” traces the African American struggle for freedom through education, art, dance, music, and honoring our elders. New this year, the festivities will also include educational activities, a historical journey of African American Music and artistic entertainment, and food trucks, all designed for the whole family. Activities will take place both inside and on the lawn of the arts center.
The Montgomery County Office of Human Rights and the County Executive’s African American Advisory Group are coordinating the program with special support from the BlackRock Center for the Arts to commemorate the 156th anniversary…
