Attendees at a past Juneteenth event in Madison.
media release: We are inviting you to join us again this year as we celebrate our freedom and heritage by participating in the Annual Juneteenth Day Parade. Juneteenth is a historical event that provides an opportunity to highlight the contributions of the African American to our great nation.
We will be commemorating the 159th year of the Juneteenth Day Celebration in the United States on Saturday, June 15, 2024 at Penn Park in South Madison.
The parade is a wonderful vehicle to show your support for the Celebration. You can choose to show that support through monetary means, sending a company or agency mascot, creating a float or organizing your employees, members or young people.
Historically, the celebration attracted a crowd of about 15,000 individuals each year. We get excellent media coverage from all the major outlets in Dane County. Each year the parade highlights a significant event in the
African American community.
We encourage you to join us and many others from our community as a participant in the Twenty-Second Annual Juneteenth Parade on Saturday, June 15, 2024. The parade will kick off at 10:45 a.m. with staging to begin at 10:00 a.m. The Juneteenth Parade will depart from Fountain of Life Church parking lot at 655 West Badger Road and proceed down Park Street to Penn Park. Sign up for the parade here.
