We are excited to announce the 4th Annual Juneteenth Mullins Celebration


The festival will celebrate with Arts, Food, and Music. The event will be held in Smith Haven Park on Saturday, June 15, 2024, from 11 am to 7 pm. The national federal holiday will be observed on Wednesday, June 19, 2024.


The goal of the event is to support our small businesses and promote them widely to encourage economic growth for our entire community. The event will feature a Kids' Zone with face painting and other activities for children. It will also feature vendor booths, a main stage with a variety of performances (gospel, R&B, jazz, African), and a Food Zone with lots of cultural food!

"Hold those things that tell your history and protect them. During slavery, who was able to read or write or keep anything? The ability to have somebody to tell your story to is so important. It says: 'I was here. I may be sold tomorrow. But you know I was here.” 

- Maya Angelou
