The LAS VEGAS JUNETEENTH FESTIVAL IS A COMING TOGETHER OF THE
COMMUNITY TO CELEBRATE THE IMPACT OF AFRICAN-American culture &
heritage.Our 20th annual Las Vegas Juneteenth Festival, taking place
on June 19, 2021, is a live outdoor event which will feature delicious
tastes of the city, amazing live performances by talented local
artists as well as established entertainers, community speakers,
various product and services vendors, workshops, and more.
The Las Vegas Juneteenth Festival was established 20 years ago by
respected educator and philanthropist Diane Pollard to directly
support The Rainbow Dreams Educational Foundation and The Rainbow
Dreams Academy Charter School which provide yearly student
scholarships along with the highest level of education to the
underserved youth of Las Vegas’ Historic Westside community.
The Las Vegas Juneteenth Festival is a coming together of the
community to celebrate the impact of African-American culture,
heritage, and, most importantly, to reflect on the abolition of
slavery in 1865. It is a time for people of all races, nationalities,
and religions to gather together and embrace diversity and celebrate
freedom while acknowledging a period in our nation’s history that
shaped and continues to influence our society today.
