There are a number of Juneteenth festivities and activities taking place around the Richmond area this weekend.

"Juneteenth reminds us that freedom was not a single moment in time, but a hard-won, ongoing struggle, one that continues today in the fight for equity and justice. As a city, we honor that legacy not just with words, but with action – by building systems that create opportunity, protect dignity, and affirm the full humanity of every resident," Richmond Mayor Danny Avula said in a press release.

The below listings are from The Richmond Free Press, as well as other sources:
