Juneteenth Celebrations in Burlington

Juneteenth kicked off in Burlington with a lively block party at the Richard Kemp Center—complete with bounce houses, face painting, spoken word, and historical exhibits—where organizers remind us learning must continue beyond the festivities. The Root Social Justice Center in Brattleboro helps preserve and showcase Black Vermonters’ achievements right here in Burlington, keeping history alive and visible. The party ended around 5 PM, but don’t miss today’s Juneteenth celebration at City Hall Park, starting at 1 PM. It’s your chance to honor freedom, reflect on equality, and join the ongoing journey toward justice. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
