Free Staten Island Museum admission in honor of Juneteenth.
The Staten Island Community Alliance Corp. invites you to attend the Free 4th Annual Juneteenth Freedom Festival at Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden. The day includes dance performances, local bands, DJs, vendors, and health and wellness activities.
Juneteenth is a day that commemorates the end of enslavement in the Confederate states. It celebrates the day that news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached the farthest edges of the Union at the time.
