Morristown Juneteenth Weekend brings together five non-profit organizations to create a three-day event that commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. This free weekend offers access to local artists, food, music, and other festivities at major cultural venues in Morristown and Morris Township.

Partner organizations for this event are Morris Arts, Art in the Atrium, Sankofa Heritage Collective Morris County, Mayo Performing Arts Center and the Morris Museum.

The weekend culminates on Saturday, June 17 on the Morristown Green and Pioneer Plaza with Freedom Day: The Juneteenth Festival of Morris County. This lively event celebrates the resilience, solidarity, history, and culture of the Black community. The day includes live performances by The Kofi and Sankofa Drum & Dance Ensemble, local artists, and a tribute to famed abolitionist Frederick Douglass, who made a historic visit to Morristown, NJ in 1865.

Enjoy DJ sets, food, community resource tables, the Atlantic Health pavilion, and a main stage filled with live entertainment.
