We are honored to host our 3rd annual Juneteenth at Unity Park presented by TD SYNNEX’s BRG, Beacon in partnership with Urban League of the Upstate, The Greenville County Section of National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

9:30 AM: Swamp Rabbit Trail from Falls Park to Unity Park
The Greenville community is invited to join us beginning with a walking parade on the Swamp Rabbit Trail from Falls Park to Unity Park. The parade will kick-off with remarks from Dr. Gail Wilson Awan with the Urban League of the Upstate and a poetry reading by local poet, Moody Black, and will conclude at Unity Park with a dance performance by Vaughn Newman.

10:30 AM: Discussion Panel inside the Prisma Health Welcome Center
Following the parade, guests will be invited inside the Prisma Health Welcome Center for a program featuring national and regional speakers discussing Martin Luther King Jr.’s book, Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community? Additional performances throughout the program will include local musicians, Loretta Holloway “South Carolina’s Official First Lady of Song” and Sincere, and a theatrical performance by South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities alumni.

Noon: Food and local resource organizations
To round out the celebration, McCoy’s BBQ and Sassy’s Shaved Ice, along with local resource organizations, will be set up in Mary Duckett Plaza for all to enjoy lunch and community.
