Celebrating The End of Slavery
The Hamilton Hill Arts Center is proud to present its 11th Annual Juneteenth Celebration. The festivities will be held the weekend of June 17 - 19, in Schenectady, NY. Please join us for the opening ceremony on Friday, June 17th at Vale Cemetery, as we celebrate our ancestors with historic re-enactments and a program in their honor. The Juneteenth Celebration continues at Central Park, June 18th � June 19th, as we pay tribute to a significant moment in African-American, and American history. It is a time for all Americans to come together and celebrate the freedoms that make this nation great.
