5. Come Out and Watch!
They need the energy of the community cheering them on from the sidewalks! Bring your lawn chairs, wave your signs, and celebrate with them. They will start at Philo Rd and Colorado.
This parade is more than a march—it’s a lesson in history, pride, and purpose. The youth spend the week learning the story of Juneteenth and why it matters. They carry that knowledge with them as they walk—and they need you walking and cheering beside them.
Help to make Juneteenth unforgettable.
