Juneteenth

Join us for this Juneteenth celebration on Saturday, June 13 from 11 a.m to 4 p.m. at Col. Allensworth State Historic Park during California State Parks Week. Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration of the ending of slavery in the United States of America. It was on June 19th, that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that all slaves were now free. Visitors are welcome to tour the park's historic buildings and enjoy live entertainment, music, and food. Special event parking fees apply.
