Madison has been celebrating this significant historical
event since 1990. Madison’s Juneteenth Planning
Committee each year develops programming to educate the
overall Madison community on the historical
accomplishments and contributions of Americans of
African decent. For the past 15 years the
Juneteenth Day Celebration has been a catalyst for
showcasing and promoting the rich heritage of our
community both past and present through various artistic
genres. We provide an arena for this expression
through the different components of the celebration:
Main Stage, Heritage, Church, Youth, Health, Financial
and Teens. Each component is housed in a
vividly decorated tent. |
