Juneteenth Flag Raising and Celebration
Address
Join the City of Newburyport for its Juneteenth Celebration on Friday, June 16th at 5pm at City Hall! We will be raising the Juneteenth flag and holding a ceremony that includes a speaking program and singing of the Black National Anthem. There will also be music and food, and we look forward to celebrating with the whole community. We are grateful to the City’s DEI Alliance for organizing this event.
City Hall will be closed Monday, June 19th in observance of Juneteenth. Juneteenth, or Freedom Day, is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. It is the longest running African-American holiday and has been called America’s second independence day.
