A lively Juneteenth celebration in Deuces Park, capturing Black families gathering for food and music in the warm glow of the golden hour.

As we prepare to celebrate Juneteenth this June 19, it’s essential to engage with the meaningful events in St. Pete that honor our past and uplift our community.

This year’s events include the Juneteenth Backyard Boogie at Deuces Park, where good food, music, and connection celebrate our heritage. We also have educational festivities at the Sunshine Senior Center, emphasizing the significance of this holiday in the ongoing pursuit of freedom and justice.

These celebrations align with the mission of B1Thrive, where we advocate for Black economic independence and digital sovereignty. Supporting local events contributes to community wealth circulation and strengthens our local ecosystem.

How will you participate in the Juneteenth celebrations? Reflecting on our history empowers us to shape a better future.
