Celebrate Black history, Black culture, and raise funds for Be Inclusive! Juneteenth - also known as Jubilee Day, Liberation Day, and Freedom Day - is a day to celebrate the emancipation of the last enslaved people in the United States. For the last four years, Be Inclusive has hosted a celebration on this historically significant day to celebrate Black people, history and culture, attracting hundreds of visitors. This family-friendly event will feature local Black leaders, Black-owned businesses, exhilarating performances, music, food, vendors, and a children's area for the youngest celebrants. We will also have some special guests from the New England Revolution, one of our platinum-level sponsors! Come on out and celebrate with us!

This year’s theme is “Lift Every Voice,” in recognition of the work each generation of Black Americans has done to lift their voices, and the voices of those within their community, to speak out against injustice. Together, we celebrate the central message of “Lift Every Voice”: that through amplifying the voices of the unheard, we can work toward a more just world, with equal rights and access for all.

The event is free, and we strongly encourage attendees to register at this link.
