Juneteenth is about to be bumpin' in the Central District. Several Black-owned businesses, Black-centric spaces, and marches are gathering on June 19 to celebrate the day in 1865 when enslaved Africans in Texas were told they were finally free. On the corner of 23rd and Jackson, Marshall Law Band will play at the grand opening of Terrell Jackson's Catfish Corner restaurant. Attend a ribbon cutting at 10 am, chow down on some catfish and hushpuppies, and listen to the funky tunes of the MLB. Then catch the Juneteenth Freedom March & People's Assembly at 1 pm, marching from 23rd and Madison ending at Jimi Hendrix Park. The march and assembly will honor the Black history of the Central District with soul food, live performances, and Black drill teams. Mosey on over to Northwest African American Museum's Juneteenth Jamboree at Judkins Park, which will also be full of food, music, and horseback rides from Seattle Buffalo Soldiers. And end your day at Wa Na Wari, the Black arts space on 23rd and Marion. Settle into a sunny spot in their backyard around 6 pm, and listen to the music of the Blue Meadows Trio while sipping on drinks from Erudite & Stone. If you go, be respectful!!!!
