Juneteenth is a celebration of the freedom and emancipation of enslaved people in America. Minneapolis will be having events spanning the entire week from June 13th to 19th, so be sure to pop in to as many events as possible.

Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board and the Juneteenth Community Board have teamed up to bring fun events to everyone. Here are just a few:

• Storybook strolls featuring Black authors and artists at several Minneapolis parks, in collaboration with Hennepin County Library

• Virtual community panel discussions

• Outdoor and drive-in movies: 42, The Great Debaters and Jumanji: The Next Level

• Family Night at Creekview Park

• And more!
