Recognized as a federal holiday since 2021, Juneteenth is short for “June Nineteenth,” marking the date in 1865 when slaves in Galveston, Texas were first informed by U.S. General Gordon Granger they were free, in accordance with President Abraham Lincoln’s signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Celebrated for more than 150 years, Juneteenth is widely considered the longest running African-American holiday.

Reservations are required for the Father’s Day Gospel Celebration. Pricing is $50 for adults and $25 for children ages 5 to 12. Reservations are available at plantriverside.com or on OpenTable.com.
