South Side YMCA Juneteenth Celebration

Join us for the South Side YMCA’s Juneteenth Celebration — a day filled with joy, reflection, and connection as we commemorate the liberation of enslaved people in America. This is more than a celebration — it’s a call to honor history, uplift Black voices, and invest in a brighter, more equitable future. 

From live performances and cultural activities to fitness fun, local vendors, food, and games for the whole family, this celebration is rooted in what matters most: community.
