On Saturday, June 17, from 1 to 10 p.m., celebrate Juneteenth — the anniversary of the announcement of the end of slavery in the U.S. in 1865 — at Halvorson Park (free). Black Humboldt is bringing together Black and brown food vendors and businesses to peruse, musicians and performers to enjoy, and a kids’ zone for the little ones. The fourth annual event also features speakers and community information tables, as well as a chance to catch up with your community, relax in the beer garden and watch a movie in the open air.
