Join the Champaign Public Library in celebrating 157 years since the news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached Galveston, Texas.

Bring your family and friends to Douglass Park for summer fun and games!

Juneteenth, the oldest known celebration commemorating the abolition of slavery in the United States, is one event you don’t want to miss. Enjoy music and visit different vendors while learning about this important holiday. Children can make arts and crafts, play on the bounce house and obstacle course, or get soaked in the Splash Pad.

Made possible with support from the Champaign Public Library Friends and the Champaign Park District.
