June 19, 2005 Historic Five Points Arts & Culture District - The event is titled The 19th of June Community Celebration. This event will focus on the re-education and advising our community on the true purpose for Juneteenth. We will market the Five Points businesses and organizations in the area. There will be no paid booths only civic organization and sponsorship booths. We will have "FREE" food and red soda provided by the organizations for the first time, rather than having a large amount of paid vendors coming to the sight and not investing in the community with the profits that are made from the event.
