34th Annual Juneteenth Parade & Harambee Festival

About this event

Bridgeport's signature Juneteenth celebration returns for its 34th year as the City of Bridgeport partners with Juneteenth of Fairfield County, Inc. to host the annual parade and Harambee Festival. The parade kicks off at 11 a.m., stepping off from Burroughs Community Center on Fairfield Avenue and winding through the Black Rock and South End neighborhoods before arriving at Seaside Park. The post-parade Harambee Festival runs until 5 p.m. and features marching bands, drill teams, cultural performances, vendors selling food and crafts, community resource booths, and family-friendly activities along the shoreline. It is the largest and longest-running Juneteenth observance in Fairfield County and a centerpiece of Bridgeport's summer event calendar.
