Experience Empowerment at the Columbus County Juneteenth Festival

This year, the Columbus County Juneteenth Festival is set to be an empowering and enriching experience for all who attend. For those who may be unfamiliar, Juneteenth is a significant commemoration of the abolition of slavery in the United States. The festival, held annually in downtown Whiteville, celebrates this important milestone in American history with a series of events and activities that honor the journey towards freedom and equality.

One of the highlights of the festival is the Empowerment Week, which features a variety of workshops, discussions, and presentations aimed at inspiring and uplifting attendees. From motivational speakers to skill-building sessions, Empowerment Week provides a unique opportunity for individuals to learn, grow, and connect with others in the community. In addition to Empowerment Week, the festival also offers a range of other engaging activities, including a Western Style Gala, Brunch, Paint & Sip events, and more. These festivities provide a fun and celebratory atmosphere for people of all ages to come together and enjoy the spirit of Juneteenth. Those interested in participating in the festival as vendors can easily do so through the provided Eventbrite link on the festival's website. Community agencies looking to get involved can also fill out a small information form to join in the festivities. The festival's website serves as a hub of information, offering details on event schedules, contact information, a photo gallery, and helpful links. Community members are encouraged to share their own Juneteenth experiences on the website's blog section, further fostering a sense of unity and togetherness within the community. With the colors of the Pan-African flag incorporated into the website's design, the Columbus County Juneteenth Festival is not only a celebration of history but also a colorful and vibrant expression of culture and heritage.
