"We are privileged to celebrate, honor and pay tribute to the great slave men and women who worked two years as slaves in Texas after slavery had ended"
Linda McGee, Juneteenth Festival Committee, Inc. Chairperson
"I think the celebration and understanding of what took place many years ago is something that we should reflect on and make sure it never happens again to any race of people."
It’s great to see so many coming together to acknowledge and remember the past, celebrate the hard-fought freedom from slavery and look ahead to a better future.
Mike Chitwood, Sheriff of Volusia County
“As a vendor at the Juneteenth festival, I find it incredibly rewarding and eye-opening to witness the remarkable achievements and continued progress of our community.”
