Residents are invited to gather for an evening of fellowship, entertainment, and community spirit as Minden’s annual Juneteenth celebration returns to Martin Luther King Drive on Friday, June 19.
The event will be held from 5 PM to 9 PM and will feature food, live music, games and activities for all ages, local vendors, and opportunities for community fellowship and unity.
Organizers are encouraging families and community members to attend the celebration, which honors the significance of Juneteenth while bringing residents together for an evening of fun and reflection.
The event is described as “A day to honor our past, celebrate our present, and build our future,” and commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans.
