Juneteenth Folklife Celebration
The Juneteenth Folklife Celebration highlights the folk art, heritage, and traditions of African-American culture in St. Landry Parish. Rebecca Henry, owner of the Creole Heritage Folklife Center, hosts the event. She is a child of sharecroppers, artist, and a wealth of cultural knowledge. This celebration pays tribute to the date when Texas slaves first heard the news of their freedom. Under the Farmers Market Pavilion in Opelousas, Louisiana, you will be able to listen to live music and traditional dancing. See original folk art and learn about the heritage and traditions of the region.
As this is a family-friendly event, no alcohol is sold or allowed on-site.
