Here’s where to celebrate Juneteenth 2024 in Acadiana
(KLFY) — If you’re looking to celebrate Juneteenth, Acadiana has lots of activities planned.
Juneteenth, also known as Juneteenth Independence Day or Freedom Day, is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19 that Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with the news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. Juneteenth today celebrates African American freedom and achievement while encouraging continuous self-development and respect for all cultures.
The Southwest Louisiana (SWLA) Juneteenth Committee’s mission is to commemorate the ending of slavery in the United States by celebrating the joys of liberty, educating the community about African American heritage and by promoting positive cultural interaction. Every year, the committee hosts various events in honor of the Juneteenth holiday, including the SWLA Juneteenth Music Festival.
