Join Howard County Executive Calvin Ball, Howard County Office of Human Rights & Equity, the Harriet Tubman Cultural Center, and the Howard County Department of Recreation and Parks for our annual Juneteenth Block Party & Community Day. This vibrant celebration honors the richness of Black culture, the power of community connection, the importance of telling our stories in our own voices, and the history and ongoing significance of Juneteenth. Featuring food, music, dance, movement, storytelling, interactive exhibits, community resources, and engaging workshops, this event is geared towards the whole family.
More than a celebration, this event is an opportunity to connect, to learn, and to uplift the voices and experiences that have too often been overlooked or misunderstood. Juneteenth reminds us that freedom is not just a moment in history, but a lived experience that continues to evolve. As we gather, we celebrate how far we’ve come, strengthen the bonds within our community, and reaffirm the importance of centering our stories as we move forward together.
All ages welcome! See registration page for a full list of classes, workshops, and activities.
