We’re so excited to participate in CAM’s Juneteenth Celebration for the 4th year! Once again, we will have a book giveaway with our friends from Dogtown Book Shop, thanks to funding provided by Art for Equity.

Celebrate Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States! The 4th Annual Gloucester Juneteenth Celebration is presented by the Cape Ann Museum in collaboration with community organizations across the city. This community celebration of Black Independence Day began through grassroots organizing by Gloucester resident Toni Waldron in 2021 and became part of the Cape Ann Museum’s annual calendar of events in 2022. Learn about the Juneteenth Holiday and its connection to Cape Ann history while celebrating Black history through music, dance and food.
