Mark your calendars and bring the whole family to Benton Harbor’s 8th Annual Juneteenth Celebration returns Saturday, June 14, 2025, at City Center Park, hosted by the Benton Harbor Juneteenth Cultural Awareness Committee (BHJCAC).
In honor of the legacy of African American freedom, resilience, and cultural pride, this year’s theme aims to celebrate stories of the Benton Harbor community and legacy, with an exciting day of music, food, history, and togetherness.
There will be historical storytelling, music and entertainment, a wide-variety of vendors, family-oriented activities, and a parade.
Registration is now open for all participants! Emails have gone out to last year’s parade groups, and new participants are encouraged to sign up early by contacting bhjuneteenth@gmail.com.
