Juneteenth is the celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. Everyone is invited to this fun, free Juneteenth party. Enjoy performances by local youth choirs and entertainers, an “Old School Dance Contest”, a barbecue with free hamburgers and hot dogs prepared by Long Beach firefighters and police officers, free health screenings and a kids' area with jumpers and water games. Don't forget to bring chairs and picnic blankets.
