Freedom, history, and culture - these are the values we celebrate at the City of Burlington Juneteenth Celebration. With exciting activities planned throughout the festival, there's something for everyone here!
Join us in celebrating Juneteenth and supporting the Racial Equity Inclusion & Belonging (REIB) office for an unforgettable event. Burlington is proud to come together with people from all walks of life as we honor history, culture and diversity.
The celebration will span multiple iconic locations in Burlington's vibrant Downtown center, including:
- City Hall Park
- Contois Theatre
- Burlington City Arts (BCA)
- Lower Church Street
- Main Street
- The Flynn Theatre
The event is expected to take place over 12 hours, featuring over 50 performances and other forms of entertainment. Attendees can expect activities involving music, poetry, community conversations, visual art, food and beverages, comedy, a gospel brunch, family fun, and wellness workshops. This year’s theme of “Embrace & Belonging,” specific to Burlington’s celebration, speaks to the collective work we must do as a community to continue the efforts to actualize the promises of freedom and the right and privileges to full citizenship in the United States, Burlington, and Vermont.
