Wichita Celebrates Juneteenth with Community and Culture

Wichita kicked off a vibrant Juneteenth week with history, culture, and community at its core, culminating in a big celebration honoring the day enslaved people in Texas finally learned they were free in 1865. The festivities began with the Miss Juneteenth scholarship pageant, spotlighting young Black women, thanks to a dedicated committee and the Credit Union of America’s support. A lively historical parade, senior appreciation day, film festival, and local artist showcase filled the week, while McAdams Park became the epicenter of weekend revelry—with live music, food trucks, and vendors—all designed to honor the past and unite the community.
