The NAACP Snohomish County and Snohomish County will sponsor a Juneteenth Community Celebration on Saturday, June 14, from 11 a. m. to 3 p. m. at Martha Lake County Park in Lynnwood.

Attendees can participate in activities such as dominoes, card games, music, bid whist, line dancing, and enjoy a free barbecue lunch provided by Soul 2 Go. Organizers encourage guests to bring blankets, lawn chairs, games, and a good appetite to enhance their experience. Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States, making this celebration a significant cultural event that fosters community unity. Such gatherings serve to educate attendees on the historical significance of Juneteenth while providing an opportunity for social interaction. The event not only celebrates African American heritage but also emphasizes the ongoing journey toward equality.

Local officials and community leaders often participate in these events, reinforcing their commitment to social justice. This celebration reflects a broader movement to honor history and promote cultural awareness within the community.
