“Juneteenth Celebration 2010” is being held on Saturday June 19, 2010 from 12:30 –6pm in District Four’s Market Creek Plaza, a community festival attracting tourist and San Diego residents from throughout the region.

Starting at 1pm enjoy live performances including singing, dancing, African drum, gospel, storytelling, college stepping, and much more!  Don’t miss the soul food, free workshops, face painting and jumpers for the kids!
