Join us for food, commemorative speeches and re-enactments, entertainment and special fun for kids, as we celebrate June 19th as the second Independence Day. On that date in 1865, the last slaves in America heard the Emancipation Proclamation read in Galveston, Texas.

Come for the afternoon festivities or the evening-better yet, attend both. This celebration replicates early Juneteenth celebrations and has achieved recognition as Arkansas' finest.
