Happy Juneteenth! Come check me out at @weeksvilleheritagecenter . Repost from @blackownedbklyn . Come and check me out! Repost from @blackownedbklyn . Food has been connected to Juneteenth since the holiday was first observed on June 19, 1866 — one year after Union Army Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston to announce the emancipation of Black people in Texas, one of the last groups of enslaved people in the U.S. to be freed. Black Texans celebrated a year of freedom with music and food, over time creating annual Juneteenth traditions such as red foods and barbecue. . Our Juneteenth Food Festival on June 18-19 honors the past while creating new traditions in our present. Produced by Jummy’s Picks by Black-Owned Brooklyn (our curatorial brand) and @weeksvilleheritagecenter, the event reflects the diversity of Black Brooklyn with more than 20 vendors offering cuisine from across the African Diaspora. . Taking place on the historic grounds of Weeksville Heritage Center — once one of the largest free Black communities in pre-Civil War America and home to many abolitionist leaders — the festival will also feature a marketplace of Black-owned cultural goods, educational activities and performances. To bring the vibes, we’ll have sets from a lineup of all-Black queer and trans DJs curated by @papijuicebk (6/18) and the legendary @soulsummitmusic collective spinning house and club classics (6/19)! . We hope you’ll join us in a space lovingly made for Black joy, freedom and celebration. .
