Edina’s Juneteenth Celebration was a community-led event planned by Hennepin County Joint Community Police Partnership and the Anti-Racism Collective — with support from the Edina Police Department, City of Edina, City of Richfield and a generous grant from Explore Edina and from Edina Morningside Rotary. 

 

Juneteenth commemorates the day in Galveston, Texas that the last enslaved African-Americans learned of their freedom nearly two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It became a Federal Holiday in 2021 and is an observed city holiday in Edina, MN.

 

Our celebration featured entertainment by KMOJ radio personality Chantel Sings  who emceed, music by DJ S Dot, and live performances, a children's area with a kid's DJ and a book giveaway.​

​

Nanny’s Jamaican Kitchen and Soul to Soul BBQ will provided food along with other Black owned vendors.
