{City of Coconut Creek}
The City of Coconut Creek will honor Juneteenth with an evening of live entertainment, cultural tributes, and community activities during its annual Freedom Day Celebration on Saturday, June 20.
The free event will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. at the City Hall Courtyard, located at 4800 W. Copans Road. Residents and visitors of all ages are invited to attend as the city commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates African American history, culture, and achievements.
This year’s celebration will feature live music by The Motown Experience, a tribute act that recreates the iconic sounds, harmonies, and choreography of Motown’s greatest artists.
Attendees will also enjoy high-energy step performances by Rise with Greatness, thought-provoking poetry from a spoken word artist, and a lively trivia contest hosted by an emcee, complete with prizes and giveaways.
The first 100 guests will have the opportunity to design and create their own custom Juneteenth T-shirt.
Food and beverage vendors will be on site throughout the evening, offering a variety of refreshments.
Guests are encouraged to bring blankets, lawn chairs, and coolers to enjoy the outdoor festivities. Pets will not be permitted at the event.
Juneteenth, observed annually on June 19, commemorates the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.
