In 2021 President Joe Biden signed into law the 11th US National Holiday - Juneteenth.
This inspired our founder, Laura Craft, to bring the communities of Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Gilbert, Mesa, Florence, and all of the East Valley of Phoenix, Arizona together to celebrate this holiday.
In 2022, the 1st Annual Queen Creek Juneteenth Celebration was held on Sunday, June 19th (Father's Day) at the Desert Mountain Park, in Queen Creek, Arizona. It was a huge success with over 300 people attending.
There was an opening prayer, the singing of Lift Every Voice and Sing, the reading of the remembrance of June 19, 1865, poems, dancing, singing, instructor lead painting, many vendors, and a special recognition of all African American Fathers present. All to the backdrop of a live DJ and many food trucks for refreshments.
The Queen Creek town councilman, Robin Benning and Queen Creek Police Chief, Randy Brice, were guest speakers to commemorate the special day.
Many people personally thanked Ms. Craft for having a vision for Queen Creek and all of the East Valley. Encouragement from many has now guided her to spearhead the 2nd Queen Creek Juneteenth Celebration - to be held on Sunday, June 18, 2023 (Father's Day) - at the Barney Family Sports Complex in Queen Creek, Arizona.
All are welcome to attend! We look forward to seeing you there!
