Benefitting from becoming a federal holiday in 2021, Juneteenth has gone from a small celebration in a Minneapolis park to being celebrated across the state. Honoring the emancipation of slaves, cities and organizations host events with health and wellness programming, vendors, entertainment and community upliftment. Here's a roundup of events.
