Juneteenth is observed annually on June 19th and is the oldest known celebration of the end of slavery in the United States. Though the Emancipation Proclamation was officially issued in 1863, it was not until 1865 that it was announced in Texas – and the first recorded celebration on record took place in 1866. Since then, celebrations and festivals have grown and are now seen in nearly all major U.S. cities.
Each year in Wichita, Juneteenth ICT hosts a week-long celebration of community events – the entire schedule for Juneteenth ICT 2021 can be found here.
