Philadelphia Juneteenth Parade and Festival

The Philadelphia Juneteenth Parade and Festival, started by the Pennsylvania Juneteenth Initiative, is the largest annual celebration in the nation attended by thousands where we join together to have fun, embrace our history and continue the tradition of Kujichagulia (self-determination). Over the past five years, the parade has grown to be the largest in the nation, drawing over 25,000 attendees to experience a culturally festive 1.5 mile long parade with over 2,000 participants and floats. The annual celebration continues with a festival at the historic Malcolm X Park with over 250 vendors and a musical concert for the entire family to enjoy!
