To commemorate the end of slavery in 1865, Manhattan City Park will play host this weekend to the 28th annual Juneteenth celebration.
This year’s celebration includes new activities and events to appeal to people of all ages and walks of life. This year also marks the second Juneteenth Community Unity Walk from 11 a.m. to noon to celebrate the life of former committee chair Don Slater.
Betty O and the Exceptions will light up the evening with a live performance.
