Cincinnati Juneteenth Festival – June 19-20

June 15, 2010 By FFCStaff


One of the reasons I love Cincinnati so much is that there is something to do for everyone. We have a diversity of cultures and one thing that unites us is that we all love to celebrate.  This weekend, join in on the fun at Eden Park for the Cincinnati Juneteenth Festival.  This event “celebrates the end of American slavery” and is a wonderful family-friendly festival.  There is something to do for everyone.
