Juneteenth in Queens: 5th Annual Festival at Roy Wilkins Park

About this event

The 5th Annual Juneteenth in Queens Festival returns to Roy Wilkins Park in St. Albans/Jamaica with a theme of 'Black to the Future.' The free, community-empowered event centers Black creativity, business, love, wealth, networking, opportunity, excellence and joy. Held in the heart of Southeast Queens, the festival commemorates the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, while envisioning the future of the community through music, vendors, family activities, food and culture. Doors open at noon and the celebration runs into the evening.
