NEW EVENT: 3rd Annual Irvine Juneteenth Freedom Celebration - Irvine - June 22, 2024 11am - 4pm
Kailifornia Jewelry & Accessories Joins the City of Irvine's 3rd Annual Juneteenth Celebration
IRVINE, CA, June 13, 2024 - Kailifornia Jewelry & Accessories is excited to announce our continued participation in the 3rd Annual Juneteenth Celebration in Irvine, hosted by the City of Irvine in collaboration with BIPOC Orange County. This event underscores our commitment to celebrating diversity, promoting equality, and educating the community about the significance of Juneteenth.
Juneteenth, or "Emancipation Day," commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to inform enslaved African Americans that the Civil War had ended and they were free—more than two years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. This holiday serves as a poignant reminder of the deep roots of injustice in our country's history and highlights the progress made in the ongoing fight for equality.
As a multi-racial business with children, we understand the importance of commemorating Juneteenth. We use this opportunity to educate and empower younger generations about our shared history and continuous pursuit of equality.
This year’s celebration at the Great Park Palm Court on June 15 promises to be an enriching and inspiring experience. The City of Irvine has curated an event that not only celebrates Black excellence but also encourages learning about Black culture and the historical significance of Juneteenth.
The event will feature a variety of activities, including interactive educational resources from local organizations, engaging family-friendly activities, and vibrant live performances. Attendees will have the chance to explore an array of fantastic food options, reflecting the rich and diverse culinary traditions of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities.
Join Kailifornia Jewelry & Accessories as we commemorate Juneteenth and celebrate diversity, unity, and freedom in the City of Irvine.
