A family-friendly Juneteenth celebration including music, food, art, and more is coming up in Fayetteville this month.

The event, called Juneteenth Rhythms of Resilience Festive March & Cookout, is set for 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 22.

The event will include a “festive march” beginning at the corner of North Willow Ave. and East Spring Street and ending at Walker Park led by The Cummins Group and members of the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff Marching Band.

Along the way, attendees can view an open air “gallery of Black excellence and heritage,” officials said, featuring large scale photography and paintings of modern and contemporary figures.

The event will conclude in the Walker Park Pavilion where local chef Nate Walls will be providing free food for attendees. Fayetteville mayor Molly Rawn will also be on hand to give remarks to mark the occasion.

The event is organized by NWA Black Heritage, a local organization dedicated to addressing and correcting the inequalities Black communities face in Northwest Arkansas.

“Juneteenth is a time to reflect, rejoice, and recommit to the ongoing journey toward justice and equity,” said NWABH co-founder board president Sharon Killian. “Through movement, music, art, and food, we’re celebrating not just freedom, but the beauty and resilience of our community.”

The event is free to attend and open to the public.
