Juneteenth ~ Bloomington, IN- The City of Bloomington is excited to announce their upcoming Juneteenth celebration, inviting the public to join in on the festivities. The event will take place on Friday, June 13 from 2 to 9 p.m. at Switchyard Park, located at 1601 S. Rogers St.
This free and family-friendly event aims to honor the history, resilience, and culture of Black Americans through a day filled with celebration, reflection, and community. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, Emancipation Day, and Jubilee Day, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States.
The holiday holds significant importance as it marks the historic moment on June 19, 1865 when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas to proclaim the freedom of enslaved Black Americans. This was more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. While Juneteenth has long been celebrated by Black communities, it was officially recognized as the 11th federal holiday in 2021 due to its enduring significance in American history.

The celebration will kick off at 6:10 p.m. with live entertainment by DJ Darran Mosley followed by a performance by Troy Thomas and Trumusiq at 7:15 p.m. Attendees can also explore a vibrant vendor market featuring Black-owned businesses and enjoy a variety of food options from food truck vendors. Additionally, health and wellness services will be provided on-site by the Bloomington Fire Department's Mobile Integrated Health and Indiana University Hoosier Health Check teams.
All activities will take place outdoors at Switchyard Park and guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets for a comfortable experience. This is an opportunity for everyone to come together and celebrate freedom, culture, and unity.
