Juneteenth, the nation’s newest holiday, is a time to remember, reflect, and rejoice in freedom.
On June 21, Shelbyville will host its second Juneteenth Celebration from 11 am - 3 pm at Sunset Park. This event is free and open to the public. The day will include music, activities, food trucks and free snow cones.
This event will open with a City proclamation, followed by the Juneteenth welcome and remembrance. The Juneteenth Celebration Singers will sing at 11:30 a.m., and FunkSway, a R&B group from Louisville, KY, will perform to highlight the day.
The Shelby County Public Library will be on hand with activities. Everyone is invited to bring lawn chairs, picnics and blankets to enjoy the day. Bottled water will be available.
