Juneteenth marks 160 years since emancipation in 2025; Madison celebrates 36 years of community gatherings. Led for decades by Annie Weatherby-Flowers — who will step down after this year — the event blends joy and history with a clear-eyed look at the present. The Saturday celebration begins with a parade departing at 10:45 a.m. from the Madison Labor Temple grounds and ending at Penn Park for entertainment, kids' activities, vendors and exhibits, food and conversation. It’s more than a party — it’s a living legacy of Black resilience, hosted by a community that knows freedom is something you honor by showing up. Other events will take place during the preceding week; watch kujimcsd.org for announcements.
