A Message from Our General Chairperson:
Dwana Bradley Welcome to Iowa Juneteenth!
In 2026, Iowa Juneteenth invites you to be part of a powerful and historic year as we come together to Celebrate Freedom. As our nation reflects on 250 years of history, we pause to honor the enduring journey of Juneteenth (161 years) and the generations who have carried the promise of freedom forward with resilience, courage, and hope. Our 2026 celebrations will honor the legacy of African American history and culture while creating space to reflect on how far we’ve come and where we are going. Through music, art, storytelling, education, and community engagement, we will celebrate freedom not just as a moment in time, but as a living value rooted in equity, unity, and collective progress. This year is about History, Education, Leadership, People, and Community Well Being (H.E.L.P). We are bringing people together to learn, celebrate, and uplift one another. From dynamic cultural showcases to meaningful conversations and family-friendly experiences, Iowa Juneteenth 2026 is designed to inspire pride, foster understanding, and strengthen our shared commitment to building a more inclusive future. Thank you for continuing to walk alongside us and for being part of a celebration that honors the past, empowers the present, and invests in generations to come. We look forward to celebrating freedom with you. |
