Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and is celebrated on the anniversary of Major General Gordon Granger’s order on June 19, 1865. Freedom Day, as some call it, is a federal holiday for many. But Juneteenth is really too big for just one day. That’s why there are multiple events over several days in the Louisville area. Check out our guide.

"If the cruelties of slavery could not stop us, the opposition we now face will surely fail. Because the goal of America is freedom, abused and scorned tho' we may be, our destiny is tied up with America's destiny." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
