Join Us In Celebrating Tybee MLK Human Right Organization 3rd Annual Juneteenth Festival on Tybee Island!
Last year we had a blast! We are excited to do it again at memorial park on Tybee Island.
“Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of African-American slaves. It is also often observed for celebrating African-American culture. Originating in Galveston, Texas, it has been celebrated annually on June 19 in various parts of the United States since 1865.”
