A Juneteenth Weekend Rooted in Culture & Community

A place once marked by discord and pain has transformed into a space of purpose and reflection — a powerful symbol of how our community honors the past while building toward a more inclusive future.

Juneteenth isn’t just a day — it’s a reminder, a reunion, and a revival.

The 2025 Juneteenth celebration, themed "Sovereign,"  features: 

Live performances by Tank and the Bangas and Rissi Palmer
Spoken word, dance, and cultural showcases
Over 95 local vendors and an art crawl
Miss Juneteenth Fayetteville Scholarship Pageant
Juneteenth Celebration 5K at 7:30 AM
Educational trolley tours and family-friendly activities
 

Plan Your Perfect Juneteenth Weekend

 Before or after the festival, spend some time time exploring all Fayetteville and Cumberland County has to offer.
