County! LA County Parks and Recreation invites you to our Juneteenth celebrations, on Saturday, June 18th, all across L.A. County. Attend a celebration at Earvin Magic Johnson Park in South L.A. Dalton Park in Azusa, El Cariso Park in Sylmar, and Jackie Robinson Park in Sun Village.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States; specifically, when former slaves were finally freed in Galveston, Texas, two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Though long celebrated within the Black community, Juneteenth was formally made a federal holiday on June 17th, 2021.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The L.A. County Juneteenth Celebrations are possible thanks to the generosity of the L.A. County Board of Supervisors \u2013 First District Supervisor Hilda L. Solis, Second District Supervisor and Board Chair Holly J. Mitchell, Third District Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, and Fifth District Supervisor Kathryn Barger \u2013 and many community-based organizations throughout L.A. County.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Juneteenth Celebrations are hosted in partnership with local community organizations. Activities feature musical performances, speaker\u2019s series, wellness activities, resource fairs, artist experiences, hands-on children\u2019s activities and so much more.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">For more information on Juneteenth celebrations, contact Delmy Villegas-Delgado, Recreation Manager at (626) 369-5141 or at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dvillegasdelgado@parks.lacounty.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dvillegasdelgado@parks.<wbr \/>lacounty.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">These are FREE events with no registration required.
