Milwaukee Celebrates Juneteenth Day 2024!

The 53rd Annual Parade and Celebration takes place on June 19, from 9AM – 4 PM.

Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day, is a holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. The holiday originated in Texas and has been celebrated by African Americans since the late 1800s.

Milwaukee is proud to have one of the largest and longest running Juneteenth celebrations in the country, drawing more than 50,000 people every year.

Now in its 53rd year, the festival brings families together through food, music, art, and education. TMJ4 News will broadcast this year’s parade for the 4th year. Parade participants include members of the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Bucks, Milwaukee Brewers, and Marquette Men’s Basketball team. More than 300 vendors line King Drive selling local food and products. (Source – JuneteenthMilwaukee.com)
