Town of Brewster Juneteenth Celebration at Drummer Boy Park

All are welcome to join the Town of Brewster for music, food, and activities at Drummer Boy Park for a celebration of Juneteenth. Enjoy a fun day of talented performers, interesting activities, educational entertainment, and more, all in honor of Juneteenth.  Stay for the whole event or stop by for a quick visit!  

Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in America and occurs on the anniversary of the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas on June 19, 1865, more than 2 years after the signing of the proclamation.

Kick off the festival at the Drummer Boy Park gazebo for a re-enactment and reading of the Emancipation Proclamation.  Afterwards, you may choose to remain at the gazebo for a series of musical performers or you can explore the park and take part in some of the other activities happening throughout the event.
