Juneteenth Moves to Centennial Park

Nashville’s Juneteenth celebration is moving to Centennial Park today—no Fort Negley due to construction. Kick off at 4:45 p.m. with live music, dancers, historians, and a World Cup watch party starting at 1 p.m. Juneteenth marks when enslaved Texans learned of their freedom in 1865, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Local Black-owned businesses will be featured, and Mayor Freddie O’Connell will speak. Plan ahead for parking—free lots off 25th and 27th Ave North, Vanderbilt’s 25th Ave Garage offering spots for 4,100 cars, or street parking (watch for closures). The night ends with fireworks honoring this pivotal moment in history. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
