Happy Juneteenth! Join the community in celebration of this day of freedom at the Juneteenth Parade on Saturday, June 21, 2025!

The Annapolis Juneteenth Parade will step off at 11:00 am on Calvert Street. It will then head up West Street, and end at Amos Garret Blvd.

Juneteenth, also called Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, commemorates the ending of slavery in the United States in 1865, specifically when the news of the end of the Civil War was shared with those still enslaved in Texas.
