The fourth annual Greenport Juneteenth celebration will take place on June 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is free to attend. The focus of this year’s celebration is youth, with the theme of “Having Their Say: What Freedom, Equality and Justice Means to Them.”

The celebration is organized through a partnership between Clinton Memorial AME Zion Church; the North Fork Chapter of Coming to the Table, a national organization dedicated to racial healing; and the Southold Town Anti-Bias Task Force.

The event will open with words by the Rev. Natalie Wimberly, followed by the Juneteenth parade, which runs from the Clinton Memorial AME Zion Church to Mitchell Park. Once there, the celebration incorporates a dance featuring the Harambee Dance Company, Afro Brazilian drumming by Batalá, music by gospel group Jus B Cuz and other local musicians, and youth-led dance and spoken word poetry performances. They will also announce the winners of a North Fork school essay and art contest. The day culminates in the unveiling of the community quilt.
