Description

Mark your calendars: Weeksville Heritage Center and Jummy’s Picks by Black-Owned Brooklyn are once again joining forces for our third annual Juneteenth Food Festival on Saturday, June 15th, from 11 am - 8 pm!

This vibrant event is steeped in tradition. Food has been a central part of Juneteenth since its first observance in 1866, commemorating June 19, 1865 — when enslaved Texans received news of their freedom. The Juneteenth Food Festival brings together 30+ food businesses for a delicious celebration of Black cuisine, as well as a marketplace of apparel, accessories, books, self-care products, and more, all from local Black brands.

Attendees will also enjoy music from the legendary Soul Summit Music DJ collective, Double Dutch with the Jazzy Jumpers, dance performances and workshops by Haus of Glitter, restorative yoga led by Sensate Wellness, art-making activities, food demos, book signings, and more. We hope you’ll join us for an unforgettable day of Black food, culture, history, and joy.
