The 23rd annual Kitsap Juneteenth Freedom Festival is approaching. This year's event will be held on Saturday, June 14, and will include a freedom march followed by a resource fair at Evergreen Rotary Park. Everyone is welcome to join the march and the fair. We encourage you to wear your favorite Bremerton School District or school gear!
Juneteenth Block Party
Doc luv the kids (non profit) , Emerald City outdoor movies and The Brothers Tree Services would like to invite you to the Juneteenth Bremerton Block Party. Together with community partners, this is a wonderful free event for the community of Kitsap to learn about this special day and the history of this moment.
The Block Party will be Thursday, June 19, at the Perry Avenue Mall, from 1pm-5pm.
Looking for volunteers!
We will be looking for a few volunteers to help staff a Bremerton School District table at both Juneteenth events.
