Bloomfield Juneteenth Celebration Scheduled For This Weekend

BLOOMFIELD, NJ — Bloomfield’s fifth annual Juneteenth celebration will take place on Saturday, June 21. The event was originally scheduled for June 14, but was postponed due to the rain.

The family friendly event will take place from noon to 7 p.m. at Glenwood Avenue and Washington Street.

According to a municipal advisory, the community celebration will “honor the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States, while celebrating the rich cultural contributions, resilience, and achievements of Black people throughout history.”

“Events like our Juneteenth Celebration highlight what makes Bloomfield special—a diverse, engaged community that values history, equity, and collective progress,” said Council Member Sarah Cruz, liaison to the town’s Juneteenth Advisory Committee.

“It’s a day of pride for all of us, and I invite every resident to take part in this powerful and joyful experience,” Cruz said.
