Residents across the county are invited to commemorate Waukegan's 5th Annual Juneteenth Celebration.
Juneteenth represents the joy of freedom and is the oldest known celebration that commemorates the ending of slavery. This cultural festival will salute African American contributions to art, education, music and dance, a celebration of family, community and culture. The day will salute Lake County’s contribution to the spirit of the abolition movement with a freedom walk parade; food, information and merchandise vendors, main stage performances; children’s activities, the CLC history tent, and much, much more. This program is being sponsored in part by the College of Lake County, the City of Waukegan, Trinity Universal Center, Waukegan Main Street, and the Juneteenth Cultural Committee of Lake County.
