SUMMARY:Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park Juneteenth Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park presents the 12th Annual Juneteenth Celebration — a multi-day series of events honoring the legacy of freedom\, Gullah Geechee heritage\, and the community that helped define self-governance in America. \nProgramming spans three days and includes an evening campfire and conversation with nationally recognized historian Joe McGill\, a Children’s Drum Camp and community Drum Circle\, and a full-day festival headlined by GRAMMY-nominated artist Stokley. A Juneteenth 5K presented with Palmetto Running closes out the commemoration on June 19th. \n“Having Stokley headline this year’s festival is something really special\,” said Joyce Wright\, Director of Programs and Interpretation at Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park. “He brings an incredible depth of artistry and a genuine connection to the music and culture that make this celebration so meaningful. We want every person who comes through those gates on June 13th to feel the joy and the weight of what this place represents — and Stokley’s performance is going to help us do exactly that.” \nHistoric Mitchelville Freedom Park preserves and interprets the story of one of the first self-governed towns of formerly enslaved people in the United States. The Juneteenth Celebration brings together community members\, families\, descendants\, visitors\, and students each year to honor that history through cultural programming rooted in freedom\, education\, and Gullah Geechee heritage. \n“Juneteenth at Mitchelville has always been about more than a single day\,” said Ahmad Ward\, Executive Director of Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park. “This weekend\, we are asking families\, neighbors\, descendants\, and visitors to come together on the very ground where freedom was built and lived.” \nMAIN CELEBRATION INFORMATION \nSaturday\, June 13 | 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM 12th Annual Juneteenth Celebration Festival featuring Stokley Admission: $10 | Children 10 and under free | \nThe signature event of the weekend brings the full community together for a day of live music\, cultural celebration\, Gullah foodways\, and connection on the historic grounds of Mitchelville. From the first performance to the final set\, the festival is designed to honor history\, uplift community\, and celebrate freedom in a welcoming\, family-friendly atmosphere. \nGuests can expect live music and performances throughout the day\, local artists and vendors showcasing handmade goods\, food trucks and traditional Gullah cuisine\, community storytelling and cultural activations\, dance contests\, karaoke\, interactive programming for all ages\, and youth performances. \nHeadlining the festival is Stokley — GRAMMY-nominated vocalist\, songwriter\, producer\, and multi-instrumentalist\, and lead singer and drummer of the legendary R&B group Mint Condition. Stokley has collaborated with some of the most celebrated names in music\, including Prince\, Whitney Houston\, and Janet Jackson. His 2017 debut solo album\, Introducing Stokley\, produced two top-five Billboard singles\, “Organic” and “Level.” His performance promises to be a fitting close to a day rooted in joy\, resilience\, and community. \nFULL EVENT LINE UP \nThursday\, June 11 | 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM Juneteenth Campfire\, Conversation & Sleepover with Joe McGill An America 250 Event | Admission: $25 Adults | Children under 12 free \nGather around the fire for an evening of meaningful storytelling\, shared history\, and community connection.
