    Yay! I used to live a block away from a large park where the Juneteenth celebrations would last all day, with live bands and food and lots of dancing. I loved it.

  2. Thanks Juanita. We don’t celebrate Juneteenth here in the part of Ohio I live in–at least, no one I know does—so maybe I just don’t know enough interesting and knowledgable people.

  4. There has been a Juneteenth celebration in San Jose for years. It’s not very big, but there aren’t a lot of African-Americans in San Jose. This year, it was held in Caesar Chavez Park downtown.
