A Father’s Day Concert
Eden Park    2-6:00 pm

 In 2005 Juneteenth Cincinnati revived June Fest, a concert series that served the African American community, from the late 1920s through the early 1950’s, when African American performers and audiences  were not welcome in Music Hall and other venues.  The Juneteenth weekend ends on Sunday afternoon with the June Fest Father’s Day Concert,   featuring  a variety of inspirational spiritual music and praise dancing in Seasongood Pavilion.
