Who We Are
Fauquier Juneteenth is a volunteer 501(c)(3) public non -profit organization with the mission to honor the legacy of Juneteenth by fostering a community that celebrates African American heritage, promotes community unity, and educates generations about the importance of freedom and equality. With a commitment to inclusivity, Fauquier Juneteenth fosters a sense of belonging and pride among all residents as it aims to reflect the diversity of the community. Specifically, we are intentionally recruiting a diverse group of volunteers who represent a broad spectrum of ages, abilities, skill sets, interests, and backgrounds.
What We Do
Fauquier County’s Fourth Annual Juneteenth community commemoration will take place on Saturday, June 15, 2024 from 11 a.m to 8 p.m. on Main street in Warrenton VA. (The rain date is Saturday, June 22.) We will honor and celebrate Juneteenth, as well as highlight the African culture and experience. The day will include an African dance troupe, spoken word, contests to highlight Juneteenth’s history and cultural experiences, a presentation of Black History through the lens of the Afro American Historical Association (AAHA) of Fauquier County, highlighting community events along with recognition of local heroes. We will host a number of children’s activities, and products, goods, and services will be provided by vendors and other local businesses.
