Creative Suitland presents Juneteenth Festival

  • Creative Suitland Arts Center 4719 Silver Hill Road Suitland, MD, 20746 United States (map)

The 2022 Juneteenth Festival will commemorate the end of slavery in the United States. We are also celebrating the HB 227 bill which establishes Juneteenth National Independence Day as a State legal holiday and State employee holiday. We are excited to gather the community drum circle, farmers’ market, poetry performances, genealogy resources, and family-friendly activities.

Are you interested in participating in the drum circle? This activity is open for all to join and starts at 3pm! Feel free to bring drums, bells, shakers, tambourines or your dancing shoes. Drum Circle will be led by Docta Yew of Ni Dembaya African Dance & Drum Ensemble. Instruments will not be provided.
