The Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission is shining a light on Juneteenth events across the Commonwealth. When we think about celebrating the ideals of freedom in America, Juneteenth is an important part of that story – because after all, we are all still changemakers, continually striving to form a more perfect Union. Join us in celebrating with cultural arts and dances, storytelling, kids activities, live entertainment, food trucks, games, and more.
