In 2021, after 155 years of many celebrations, President Biden announces that Juneteenth (June 19) is officially a federal holiday.

 

Yolo Juneteenth is proud to have been a faithful celebrant  with our community for the past eight years.

 

This year we invite you to celebrate with us at the
UC Davis Conference Center 

Sunday, June 4, 2023.

 

Yolo Juneteenth Festival is supported, in part, by the Yolo County Library, Friends of the Davis Public Library, the City of Davis Human Relations Commission and Arts & Cultural Affairs Program and with the support from the UC Davis Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

Check our site regularly for more information on featured performers, vendors and sponsors.

 Free Family Event

Please note that our celebration takes place early to honor and not interfere
with the local Juneteenth
festivities happening in surrounding cities on
the day
of the holiday.
