Help Us Bring Juneteenth 2026 to Life in Jefferson City

For over 26 years, Juneteenth-Jefferson City has stood as a proud tribute to the strength, freedom, and enduring spirit of African Americans in Missouri’s capital. Born from the vision of W.T. Edmonson—a passionate community leader and educator—our annual celebration has grown into a powerful tradition that uplifts voices, honors heritage, and unites people of all backgrounds.

With this year's theme of Still We Rise: Honoring the Past while Building Tomorrow, we’re raising the bar.

Juneteenth 2026 will be our boldest and most impactful event yet. From educational workshops and youth-focused programming to an unforgettable cultural parade and festival—our goal is to create a space of empowerment, joy, and reflection for thousands across Jefferson City and beyond.

But we can’t do it alone.

Your sponsorship directly supports:

Dynamic educational events to teach our shared history.
Scholarships for Lincoln University students.
Charitable donations to local youth and cultural organizations.
A citywide festival filled with music, food, and community connection.
Infrastructure to make the event safe, accessible, and unforgettable.

Juneteenth is more than a celebration—it’s a commitment to truth, progress, and legacy. Be a part of this movement. Together, we can honor the past, celebrate the present, and build a brighter, more united future.

Join us in making Juneteenth 2026 historic.

With a legacy built on strength and a future rooted in possibility, Juneteenth-Jefferson City invites EVERYONE to join in this journey of education, celebration, and progress. Together, we continue the work of our ancestors, honoring the past while shaping a brighter, more united tomorrow.
