SUMMARY:Juneteenth Festival
DESCRIPTION:Recognized in cities and states across the country\, Juneteenth — June 19 — is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. What started as a charette on this day in 2020 to promote unity and shine a light on the experiences of Somerset’s black community has been transformed into a festival featuring food\, music and art! \nThe City of Somerset and the Lake Cumberland Diversity Council are partnering to host this free community event — noon to 9 p.m. Saturday\, June 19 at the Pulaski County Judicial Center Plaza — as a celebration of the community’s black and multi-cultural heritage. \nThe art component of the festival includes live creation from several regional and statewide artists\, including Louisville’s Damon Thompson and Yolantha Pace\, Monticello’s Mitchell McGuire and Somerset’s Desmond Brittle and Bradley Shane Gilmore. These artists will create works under the theme\, “What does diversity mean to you?” Their work will be auctioned on Aug. 14 at the city’s #seemyset Art in the Park event at Rocky Hollow to benefit the #seemyset Art Fund. \nThe festival will also include food trucks and drink vendors from Somerset and across the state!
