We are getting excited, the Buzz has begun and the festivities are well on the way. All that’s missing is you! This year’s Juneteenth Celebration promises to be the best yet to come. As a state holiday JUNETEENTH will take on a new face and mission, celebrated across the city with its main focus on the stage in Riverbank Park and in Flint's Max Brandon Park join us for the "Urban Dodgeball Tournament" on Kearsley Street the Freedom Run around Max Brandon park, or better yet bring your event into the fold.


We would like you to consider all or any of the following types of support for JUNETEENTH 2010.


01. Make a cash contribution or help with expenses

02. Participate in the African American Independence Day Parade

03. Purchase an ad or name listing in our "Juneteenth Tabloid"

04. Support or take part in "The Parade Route" clean up (June 18th)

05. Field an “Urban Family Dodge Ball” team

06. Enjoy the concerts and activities in the Riverbank Park

07. Contribute Balloons, helium, books and other items for children

08. Purchase "Stage Time" to make a presentation both live & televised

09. Consider vending space, for business, organization or churches

  1. 10.Add an event of your own


But most of all, we would like you to assist us in helping the community embrace JUNETEENTH as a multi-cultural means of “Reflecting and Rejoicing” on our accomplishments and the work that still needs to be done by spreading the word.

Our mission is small but obtainable, and that is to make Juneteenth celebration in Flint, Michigan a summer destination for people across the state, with your help I’m sure we can. We want our newly sanctioned state holiday to be the greatest and best ever. Our goal is to draw participation across the state, with talent and activities galore.


Join us in presenting


                  “JUNETEENTH - A TIME TO REFLECT & REJOICE.”

                                         June 16th- 20th Flint, MI.


Much is needed to make this event a success but it all starts with you.
