Santa Monica’s 15th annual Juneteenth Celebration adopts Flight After Freedom as their theme this year honoring representatives from the Tuskegee Airmen, the African- American veterans who fought and flew so courageously in World War II. Throughout the day, multi-cultural music and dance performances, gospel, jazz and blues, comedy, storytelling, martial arts and boxing demonstrations, a children’s court with face painting, game booths and activities, and an “open mic” talent showcase will make Virginia Avenue Park a place of celebration and joy. Sample the delicious food and shop for extraordinary gifts while you mark this day of freedom.
