New London’s Juneteenth Celebration
Friday, June 7 – Sunday, June 9, 2024
Our Juneteenth Festival is a three-day long celebration of the commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States after the Civil War. Partnering with the New London NAACP, OIC New London, and the New London County Historical Society, the Hempsted Houses are home to this yearly community event highlighting the African American history of the Hempsted Houses and the surrounding New London neighborhood.
Join us each day as we engage in activities encouraging conversations about emancipation, cultural awareness, and civic responsibility. Share a conversation over a community campfire; spend the night at the New London County Historical Society Shaw Mansion with Joseph McGill; celebrate Juneteenth with us on Saturday and end the three-day festival with Sunday Services.
