JUNETEENTH

Walpole Town Common

Celebrate Black history, Black culture, and raise funds for Be Inclusive! Juneteenth - also known as Jubilee Day, Liberation Day, and Freedom Day - is a day to celebrate the emancipation of the last enslaved people in the United States. This family-friendly event will feature local Black leaders, Black-owned businesses, exhilarating performances, music, food, vendors, and a children's area for the youngest celebrants. We will also have some special guests from the New England Revolution, one of our platinum-level sponsors! Come on out and celebrate with us!

This year we celebrate the central message of “Lift Every Voice”: that through amplifying the voices of the unheard, we can work toward a more just world, with equal rights and access for all.

The event is free, and we strongly encourage attendees to register at this link.
