Juneteenth is a newer federally observed holiday meaning more events are being held each year! Northern California appears to have a nice amount of events happening right now to celebrate Juneteenth and its victorious history! Currently San Francisco, Fresno, and Sacramento County have the most events happening and will be found within this list! It is important that you pay attention to the date of these events as they are not all held on the 19th! There are many being held more on the weekend just to give you a heads up. Many of these events make me jealous that I will not be able to attend. I hope you are able to find the perfect event for you to attend on this list. If you are in a different city in Northern California and need help finding an event closer to you let me know in the comments and I can try to help find a couple for you! Have a happy Juneteenth!
