Description
Juneteenth615, Nashville's Annual Juneteenth Celebration, is presented by African American Cultural Alliance and Fellavision. juneteenth615.com
Juneteenth615 Celebration has been an important part of Nashville tradition since 2018. What originally started as a simple way of celebrating the city's rich history has grown into a celebratory affair including the annual Juneteenth615 historical program and fireworks presentation along with the city’s Juneteenth Restaurant week. We also lead and support Nashville’s City Wide Juneteenth Celebration and our sister events Black on Buchanan, Music City Freedom Festival, the National Museum of African American Music’s (NMAAM) Block Party, Community Day and many more. Over time the Juneteenth615 Celebration has grown to truly bring the Nashville and surrounding communities together, and annually attracts over 10,000 people and 25,000+ combined as Nashville’s Unified City Wide Juneteenth celebration.
Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free.
