Juneteenth Festival of the Carolinas

“The Juneteenth Festival of the Carolinas was started to share the history of chattel slavery in the USA and to commemorate its historical ending. The major intent of the festival is to examine the cultural heritage of enslaved Africans and their descendants through art, education, and research. Our goal is not to recreate the past but to venerate our ancestors and in their honor cultivate the true spirit of freedom.”

#CLTJuneteenth 2025 marks the 28th Annual Juneteenth Festival of the Carolinas! For over two decades this cultural celebration has provided a connection between history and the future.
