SOUTH CAROLINA'S LARGEST JUNETEENTH FREEDOM FESTIVAL & PARADE

MORE THAN A HOLIDAY

Throughout the week leading up to the annual festival, SCJFF hosts a series of unique, educational, and engaging events that honor the rich heritage and contributions of African Americans. These events include powerful workshops, enlightening talks, and fun community gatherings designed to uplift and inspire. By extending the celebration across multiple days, SCJFF ensures that the spirit of Juneteenth is not only remembered on the holiday itself but is embodied in our community’s actions and knowledge throughout the year. Join us in this week-long journey of learning, celebration, and community empowerment.
