In honor of Juneteenth, the Women of Color Global 29 are hosting a free community event at Knott’s Sky Park in 29 Palms to commemorate African American freedom.

Juneteenth, or Freedom Day, is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Considered the longest-running- African American holiday, Juneteenth recognizes June 19, 1865, as the date of the news of slavery’s end reached enslaved people in Texas and other states in the southwest.

Join the community at Knott’s Sky Park on Saturday, June 17 for a full day of free family fun, with music, food, and games! This event starts at 12:00 p.m. and runs until 8:00 p.m. All are welcome!

The Juneteenth celebration will tentatively include: a talent showcase, food vendors, poetry reading, and much more!

For more information, contact WOCG29 at (760) 272-0377.

Venue

Knott's Sky Park
Located at 6895 El Sol Avenue, Knott's Sky Park offers grassy areas, shade trees, children's playground equipment, covered picnic shelters, recreational activities, and baseball/softball fields. Picnic shelters are free to use or can be reserved for gatherings and special events for a small fee through the Parks and Recreation Department. Knott's Sky Park is a historic local property that once belonged to the Knott family of Knott's Berry Farm. It originally housed cottages for guests of the Knott family who came out to the desert for parties and special occasions, plus a small airstrip for landing private planes.
