Community Organizing for Racial Equity (CORE) welcomes you to participate in their 8th Annual Juneteenth Black Arts Festival on Sat, Jun 15, 12pm-4pm at the Chatham County Fairgrounds. Since 2018, the Juneteenth event has transformed – growing from its initial location accommodating 100 people to over 3000 attendees joining them from across the Triangle region.

Juneteenth Black Arts Festival is a dedicated space of reverence for the impact of Black arts and culture on American culture. They commit to offering an opportunity for Black artists and entrepreneurs to build relationships and increase their exposure across communities. They honor the creative genius and spirit of excellence that prevails within the Black community because they recognize barriers that remain in place today, excluding them from mainstream business opportunities.

All are welcome to this free community event. They have quite the festival planned for this year’s celebration, which will highlight Black artists local and afar, educational opportunities about Juneteenth, the history of the celebration, the resilience of Black culture through Black arts, and a vision for liberation. Attendees can also enjoy live entertainment, art, a Black business expo, food trucks, a heritage walk, and kid’s activities – challenging stereotypes and building a sense of pride in the dynamic heritage of Black Americans and American culture.
