Juneteenth—Come Celebrate Freedom Day!

On Saturday, June 18, from 1–5PM, Great Falls will celebrate its second annual "Juneteenth" in the bandshell area of Gibson Park.

Our formal program will include a proclamation from the Mayor, a historical overview; welcoming speakers from the YWCA, the Great Falls Public Library, and Malmstrom Air Force Base's Diversity and Inclusion Team; and the diverse musical arrangements of multiple community music groups.

Mostly, though, the event is an informal one, just as it was from the start. It's a block party at the park, free and open to the public, with DJs from the Base playing popular tunes and the Voyagers' Orbit will be there for the kids. It's a time for families, friends, and community members to enjoy great food, good music, and fun games. And to celebrate the tie that truly binds us all as Americans: our freedom.
