On June 17, 2021, at the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic, an unprecedented time in our American History, Juneteenth was made a national holiday. Juneteenth now marks a celebration of freedom and sharing of the contributions of African Americans which have made this nation great.

Suffolk County Clergy, the Ministerial Alliance of North Amityville & Vicinity, One Long Island and Suffolk County Office of Minority Affairs have come together in a Spirit of Unity to commemorate Juneteenth with a bi-county, joyous celebration of the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and its culture.

With the theme of One Long Island “Spirit of Unity”, Our celebration will take place on Monday, June 19, 2023, at Tanner Park located at 400 Baylawn Ave, Copiague, NY. We invite all to come out for a fun filled day for the entire family. The Juneteenth committee likes to say thank you to the following community partners, the Town of Babylon, Sands New York, Sun River Health, Women In Ministry State of New York (WIMSNY), and Sisters In The Struggle.
