Wade in the Water

Join with Juneteenth Dancers

Sunday, June 14

Smale Park (Beside the suspension Bridge) 2-4 pm

On June 8, 2025, join Juneteenth Cincinnati in recognizing the significant role of water in the 400-year history of African enslavement and the quest for freedom with a symbolic dance to acknowledge the role water has played in “enslavement” and “freedom” in the America’s.  We will all wear white with an accent of color if we choose (sash, a scarf, jewelry, etc.).

In Cincinnati we will dance along the river (or across the Purple Bridge) .  

 Details will be posted

A Father’s Day Concert June 21, 2026
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.
