The festival took place on Jefferson Avenue, for a weekend celebration, with murals painted and vendor booths selling ethnic foods and wares along with music and entertainment festivities. The Juneteenth Festival eventually outgrew Jefferson Avenue and moved to Martin Luther King Jr. Park.
The Juneteenth Festival of Buffalo, now in its 50th year continues with the help of resolute volunteers and the mission to actively preserve and promote the broad spectrum of African American Heritage through educational and cultural activities to benefit the community.
