Juneteenth Celebrations

Philadelphia Juneteenth celebrations began at 52nd and Jefferson Streets with a parade featuring floats, dancers, and musicians. The parade concluded at Malcolm X Park with a daylong festival that included music, art, and food at 52nd and Pine Streets. A children’s village featured activities for the kids and young ones to enjoy.
