Juneteenth Celebration

About this event

Join the City of Pasadena Parks, Recreation, and Community Services (PRCS) Department and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in celebrating Juneteenth on Saturday, June 20, 2026, from 3-8 p.m. at Pasadena City Hall, 100 N. Garfield Ave., Pasadena, CA 91101. The Juneteenth Celebration and NAACP 5th Annual Roller Jam will feature FREE family-friendly activities, arts and crafts by Armory Center for the Arts, a live DJ, and community resources for all to enjoy. Roller skates can be loaned out for free, and food will be available for purchase. Juneteenth commemorates the effective end of slavery in the United States. Two years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, news reached Texas and, upon learning they were free, former slaves immediately began celebrating with prayer, feasting, song and dance. Juneteenth is now a day to reflect and celebrate African American history and culture. For more information, please contact PRCS at (626) 744-7300.
