Annual Juneteenth Celebration

The Danville Juneteenth Celebration Committee will be hosting their 4th Annual Juneteenth Celebration at Temple Plaza in Downtown Danville. This years theme is “Marchin’ Towards Freedom”.

This year the DJCC is working in conjunction with Crosspoint Human Sevices and thanks to a grant through Healing Illinois there will be free t shirts, food, ice cream, and raffle giveaways ranging from grocery cards to bikes, televisions, and tablets.

The celebration will run from 1-6 pm and will be immediately followed by a free concert featuring soul violinist Bell Darris and panel discussion with Rep Brandun Schweizer and Danville’s Vice Mayor at the Masonic Temple located at 109 North Street. The concert will run from 6-7:30 pm.
