Juneteenth in the Park
Saturday, June 19, 8A-4P
Pocahontas State Park

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.
