Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery on June 19, 1865 - the day when all African Americans were freed from slavery. The MetroHealth Cleveland Juneteenth Freedom Fest is set to become an annual destination event in Downtown Cleveland, poised to position our community as a national leader in celebrating Juneteenth.
A day of performances, food, art and other festivities is happening in celebration of Juneteenth on Saturday, June 15 from 11:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. on Mall C in the heart of Downtown Cleveland.
