JUNETEENTH in Carroll 2023
June 17, 2023 @ 10:30 am - 3:30 pm
Today Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement. It is a day, a week, and in some areas, a month marked with celebrations, guest speakers, picnics and family gatherings. It is a time for reflection and rejoicing. It is a time for assessment, self-improvement and for planning the future. Its growing popularity signifies a level of maturity and dignity in America long over due. In cities across the country, people of all races, nationalities and religions are joining hands to truthfully acknowledge a period in our history that shaped and continues to influence our society today. Sensitized to the conditions and experiences of others, only then can we make significant and lasting improvements in our society.
This year’s theme is “Not Just a Celebration” we are focused on honoring our past, respect for our families and opening doors of communication to help build a better Carroll County, Maryland.
The event will include:
Food Trucks
Vendors
Storytelling
Live Band
Focused Conversation and much more….
