JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION

In Oregon, Black pioneers celebrated Grand Emancipation Day as early as 1863, and in 1945, Clara People introduced Juneteenth celebrations to the state. Building on this rich history, the Black Advisory Business Council will host Juneteenth 2025 on Saturday, June 14 from 12:00 - 6:30 PM at Jerry Willey Plaza, Hillsboro.
