For the past fifteen years, Juneteenth has been celebrated on the Courthouse Square, here in La Grange.

That will continue this year with an event on Saturday June 13 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.

The historical significance is the main feature of the event with the importance of ending slavery in Texas emphasized.

Entertainment will consist of Speeches, Gospel Music, Gospel Groups and Activities for the children. The Community, Past and Current City and County Dignitaries are welcome.
