Ursuline College and City of Pepper Pike host first annual Juneteenth Celebration for the whole community.

Co-hosted by Ursuline College and the City of Pepper Pike, this family-friendly event commemorates the end of chattel slavery in the United States.

Learn about the historical background of the Juneteenth holiday and why it matters to the freedom of all people living in the United States. Join us to hear music from Ikembe and The Cover Girls while enjoying food, storytelling, drumming circle, face painting, local vendors, and an art station. Held in conjunction with the opening reception for the art exhibition, “Juneteenth: The Freedom and Responsibility,” held in the College’s Wasmer Gallery.
