Saturday, June 16

The carnival opens at 12 Noon with the music festival beginning at 2:00pm with our "Streets Got Something to Say!" entertainment segment until 6:00pm when the festival reverts to its more adult contemporary roots of entertainment with its "Festival Under the Stars" format featuring World Music, Gospel, Jazz, Reggae, and R&B groups such as Soulfruit, Troy Barnett & Raw Energy, the Okem International Band and Andrea B& Company to mention a few. The Festival will feature many specialized food vendors with various games and activities set to further entertain festival goers and as with most of the foundation's planned events, it's free to the general public as thousands of attendees and participants from across the country are expected to join in celebration of Juneteenth.
