Juneteenth Festival- National Harbor destination sail (19 Jun 2026)

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Registration for this event is open now until Wednesday 6/11

Join us for a day sail to the festival at national harbor, where we will join the party and sit down to eat in celebration. The return trip group will meet us for lunch, enjoy the party and sail the boat back. Signup for both trips if you can. Based on the popularity of the event, we may have room for both options.

On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers landed in Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that all slaves were free. This was 2 ½ years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation that became official on January 1, 1863. Since that time, African Americans have celebrated with food, fellowship, prayer, and reassurance.

Juneteenth not only celebrates the freedom of African Americans from slavery, but it's also a time to reflect on the history and the progress that has been made and to encourage continuous self-development. Here's what National Harbor has going on to celebrate and honor Juneteenth.
