5th Annual Juneteenth Celebration
June 13 @ 3:00 pm - 8:00 pm
ALL are welcome to join us in the spirit of unity and solidarity during the 5th Annual Kershaw County Juneteenth Celebration on Friday, June 13th from 3:00 to 8:00 pm. Join in the celebration of the richness of African American culture and history.
Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Today, Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement. It’s a time for reflection and rejoicing. A time for assessment, self-improvement, and planning for the future. Although freedom continues to be challenged, we are committed to striving for justice for all.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their personal lawn chairs. There is no cost for any food or beverages being served. Enjoy a hot dog or perhaps some fried fish and fries, all free of charge.
The Liberty Stage at Camden City Arena will showcase various artists and community leaders offering cultural expressions to celebrate the 5th Annual Juneteenth Celebration. There will be music for all – gospel, rap, and everything in between – allowing us to dance in celebration of our greatness. Poets and dancers will also take the stage, and special guests, including the first Black mayor of Camden and other community leaders and activists, will lift their voices in unity.
Don’t miss the Empowerment Stroll, where various vendors will provide valuable information to improve the quality of life for our citizens. Gather important resources from organizations like DHEC, healthcare providers, bankers, and more. There will be something for everyone to enjoy and learn from.
You’ll also have the opportunity to purchase small items from a few vendors, but remember, no food or entertainment comes with a cost. This event is not a fundraiser, but a FUN-raiser for the entire community! Organizations can register for an information table in the Empowerment Fair by May 20.
Community support via sponsorship of this annual FREE community event for all is welcome and encouraged. Please submit your intent for sponsorship by May 20.
Come CELEBRATE with us on Friday, June 13, 2025, from 3 PM to 8 PM at the Camden City Arena. Let’s make this the most memorable Juneteenth Celebration yet! For additional information, please contact the principal organizer, Dr. Aurelio D. Givens, at (803) 713-7018
