Auxiliary Lot by Aquatic Complex
When
June 19, 2022. 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Juneteenth commemorates the day when the last enslaved African-Americans received the news that they were free. Although the Emancipation Proclamation made slaves free in 1863, it wasn't until June 19, 1865 that the last slaves were freed.
Join us for a time of celebration as we learn more about Juneteenth and the experience of African-American Virginians at Pocahontas State Park and within the Virginia State Parks system generally. We will have food trucks, entertainment, vendors, self-guided activities that can be completed at your own pace, and much more.
For more information or to receive and vendor application, email Rebecca.whalen@dcr.virginia.gov.
