You are invited to join us in person every fourth Friday!

Affinity groups cultivate an environment where you can feel heard and understood.

Washington County Juneteenth Celebration
Hosted by the Black Advisory Business Council, Washington County Chamber of Commerce, and the City of Hillsboro.
(from the Washington County Chamber of Commerce website)
Juneteenth, officially known as Juneteenth National Independence Day, is a federal holiday commemorating the emancipation of four million enslaved African Americans. This significant event, which originated in Galveston, Texas, marked the arrival of Union soldiers on June 19, 1865, when the residents of Galveston finally received news of the abolition of slavery. In the subsequent year, on June 19th, the first official Juneteenth celebration took place in Texas.
Juneteenth holds special importance in Oregon, where Black pioneers have long observed Grand Emancipation Day on January 1st since 1863. In 1945, Clara People, a Kaiser shipyard worker, introduced the Juneteenth tradition to Oregon, building upon these rich legacies.
Looking ahead to Juneteenth 2025, the Washington County Chamber Black Advisory Business Council, in collaboration with various community groups, will present a vibrant and engaging celebration. Juneteenth will feature an array of activities, including food, music, art, inspiring speakers, and a diverse range of Black-owned business vendors around the theme of “From Roots to Wings.”
As we honor the legacy of Juneteenth and its profound significance, we invite you to join us in commemorating this historic milestone and celebrating the resilience, heritage, and achievements of the African American community. Stay tuned for further updates and announcements regarding Juneteenth 2025 as we continue to foster unity, education, and empowerment for all.
