Thank you to everyone who joined us at Juneteenth on the Waterfront on June 11, 2022, to kick off a month of Juneteenth celebrations in San Francisco! Also known as Freedom Day,Juneteenth is a national holiday commemorating the anniversary of Black Emancipation in the United States, honored on the anniversary of June 19, 1865, when freedom from slavery was proclaimed in the state of Texas. For the second year, we celebrated Juneteenth at the Embarcadero Ferry Terminal Plaza and Ferry Plaza Farmers Market with a day of community and delicious, handcrafted foods highlighting local Black-owned businesses.
Be sure to celebrate Juneteenth weekend with our partners Fillmore Merchants and Neighborhood Collaborative at Juneteenth SF Freedom Celebration on June 18 in the Fillmore District, and SF Black Wallstreet at San Francisco Juneteenth on June 19 at Bayview’s Gilman Park. You can find a list of Juneteenth celebrations around the Bay Area here. |
