On June 19th, 160 years ago, slaves in Texas learned of their freedom over 2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.

Today we honor the struggle for freedom and equality while celebrating Black culture, resilience, and achievement!

Looking for ways to celebrate? Be sure to check out the Southern Colorado Juneteenth Festival hosted right here in the Springs this Friday (6/20), Saturday (6/21), and Sunday (6/22)!
