North Oakland Farmers’ Market Grand Reopening &
Juneteenth Community Celebration!
Where: 942 Stanford Ave., Oakland, CA 94608
When: Saturday, June 16th 10am-3pm

Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. It marks the day that enslaved Africans in the United States were finally “free”, when the state of Texas eventually recognized the Emancipation Proclamation in 1865, two years after it was issued.

Including free pancake breakfast, cooking demos, live art, workshops, and a special indoor Tupac 41st Birthday Video Mash up, n' more...
