There are more than a dozen Juneteenth events throughout the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs, but they all have the same theme: community. Bringing an air of togetherness to celebrate the holiday that commemorates the end of slavery, events will offer historic displays, storytelling, Black-owned business vendors, food and live entertainment.
