Emancipation Park, and around TSU(it's all 3rd ward) is were you want to be at to experience that.

Juneteenth is experiencing a renaissance in recent years. It went from being a tradition that only old folks were interested it to a lot of youth starting to get involved now.

I live by Emancipation park and grew up in. Houston Juneteenth isn't a big deal down here.The Shape center give Kwanzaa more clout than Juneteenth.

That might be your experience, and I'd agree if we were talking a decade ago. But, juneteeth has seen a spike in interest in recent years.

Numbers speak for themselves.

Kamryn Jones spent her Saturday afternoon enjoying the splash pads with dozens of other children at Emancipation Park.


The 5-year-old and her family were among more than 5,000 Houston area residents who came to the Third Ward park to celebrate the 154th anniversary of Juneteenth, an annual event commemorating the end of slavery in Texas.

Juneteenth celebration draws thousands to historic Houston park

And that pic is from early in the day.

I wont even address kwanzaa having more clout than juneteeth in the tre. lol Keep cappin tho.

Juneteeth festival is only growing larger every year due increased ethno-cultural awareness among AADOS people, especially in Houston since the tradition started around these parts(whether G-town or H-town is still Houston metro). Emancipation park was originally founded specifically for the purpose of celebrating Juneteeth. lol Afrocentric events like Kwanzaa are steadily losing interest. Most young AADOS people aren't interested in Afrocentrism. Many outright reject it.

@Silkk and anyone else that lives here, put me on to your city. What are the good food places in the city? What are some interesting things to do? So far I've been told about Torchy's Tacos and Good Dog Houston. Gonna check out some Toys R Us y'all recently got also. Got a 7 year old with us so not gonna be hitting up no bars or clubs. But I did hear about some nice aquarium tho. Looks like the public transportation not too good but I'm getting uber codes for that. What y'all recommend in the city? Staying by Minute Maid area but can venture out as well.

If you have a kiddo go to aquarium, Hermann Park Zoo and park in general is nice. Go down to the Discovery Green and bayou park on Montrose is nice too.
