WCHJA’S ANNUAL JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION CANCELLED

  

Organizers of the annual Washington County Juneteenth celebration have called off this year’s activities.

The Washington County Historical Juneteenth Association (WCHJA) will not hold Juneteenth activities this year, due to COVID-19.

The celebration normally spans Father’s Day weekend with a parade through downtown Brenham, along with live music and activities at Fireman’s Park.

According to Parade Coordinator Leticia Wills, this year’s Juneteenth Kings and Queens will be shifted to next year’s celebration, so they can get the chance to officially reign over the court.

All other award winners will also be honored at next year’s celebration, which is set for the weekend of June 19, 2021.
