About Juneteenth

Juneteenth is a holiday celebrated on the 19th of June to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in the US. The holiday was first celebrated in Texas, where on that date in 1865, in the aftermath of the Civil War, slaves were declared free under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation.

In addition to a federal and New York State holiday, both Tompkins County and the City of Ithaca have declared Juneteenth a holiday. Annual activities in Ithaca and Tompkins County are coordinated by community organizations — check your local news source for information!
