4th Annual Juneteenth Food Festival
What Are Your Plans for Juneteenth? Join us for the 4th Annual Juneteenth Food Festival, hosted by Black-Owned Brooklyn and Weeksville Heritage Center! Mark your calendar: Thursday, June 19, from 12–8 PM. For the past three years, we’ve gathered at Historic Weeksville—once one of the largest free Black communities in pre-Civil War America—to celebrate liberation, joy, and community. This year, we’re doing it all again with amazing food, music, and more.
Unearthing The Voices of Our Ancestors
Join us for an engaging and deeply personal journey through history with Nicka Sewell Smith, nationally recognized genealogist and storyteller, as she leads a series of virtual African American genealogy workshops. This unique series will guide participants through the process of researching their family histories, with a special emphasis on centering Black voices, narratives, and ancestral legacies.
