CULTURE HISTORY COMMUNITY
Juneteenth of Buffalo is approaching a major milestone, a half century of celebrating freedom, resilience, and the rich cultural heritage of Buffalo’s Black community.
This summer the Juneteenth 50th Anniversary Committee will pay tribute to this milestone by kicking off a historic 50 year celebration scheduled to run thru June 2026.
As we approach this historic weekend, we will not forget the deep roots in Buffalo—born from the efforts of dedicated community leaders, artists, and activists who saw the importance of commemorating Juneteenth not just as a moment in history but as a living, evolving testament to Black excellence and unity.

A Message From Our President
Peace and Love to African and African-American People Everywhere
We extend these greetings to all people of goodwill—those who uplift dignity, affirm life, and recognize the sacred intelligence and soulful beauty of African and African-American people worldwide.
As we embrace the theme of Juneteenth 2025 – Celebrating Freedom, History, Culture and Resilence, we express, grow, and flourish—stepping into the fullness of ourselves and our community through this year’s celebration. We are Juneteenth Strong!
Born from the Emancipation Proclamation of 1865, Juneteenth marks the abolition of slavery and the triumph over oppression. It is a testament to liberation, cultural heritage, and the enduring resilience of African Americans. Through this celebration, we reaffirm our uniqueness, honor the journey of our ancestors, and embrace a future filled with promise.

The Juneteenth Festival’s mission is to uplift and empower. By celebrating our culture in meaningful ways, we:
✔ Preserve & commemorate our history and freedom.
✔ Encourage community participation to build a strong and unified future.
✔ Promote economic progress, family ties, and ethnic pride.
