We’re looking forward to celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary, and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than with a Juneteenth Original Date in our backyard. As an added treat, we’re also looking forward to hosting vaccinations at our new location, if you hadn’t gotten the COVID-19 vaccination by then! Looking forward to seeing you all as celebrate Juneteenth 2023 in East Metro Park!
To celebrate this wonderful day we plan to have fun in the sun, BBQ’s and maybe a few games or crafts too. If you’ve never been to a Juneteenth party, we encourage you to visit one! You’ll find everything you need for fun, from pre-made fun games to activities you can do online.

If you’ve lived far from the equator and the only thing you’ve ever seen on Earth was a football game on the Sunday morning, don’t fear. You’ll be able to catch all the thrill and excitement of Juneteenth by tuning into one of the numerous live-streamed virtual events Access YouTube.

East Metro Park is conveniently located right in the heart of Lithia Springs, making it easily accessible from many different areas. Our home is only a short walking distance away, and it’s not too far to drive to Juneteenth downtown. We can’t wait to celebrate this wonderful day with friends and family. I’m sure the excitement will run even deeper once we learn just what the official celebration is going to be! It’s a long list of fun activities, but I’m particularly excited for the “Juneeteenth 21” concert held at the amphitheater during the game.
