Stanford University Juneteenth Celebrations

The 2025 Juneteenth celebrations, themed "Building Together," will offer an expansive and immersive experience across multiple venues.  Stanford celebrates Juneteenth by hosting events that showcase African American food, art, culture and more. From June 4 to July 19, 2025, a range of activities will be held in person across Stanford venues and virtually online.

Juneteenth celebrates the date when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, finally learned that they were free. More than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect, and two months after the end of the U.S. Civil War, Texas slaves discovered they were freed on June 19, 1865.

Since then, Juneteenth has been commemorated in communities across America, becoming a federal holiday in 2021. To learn more about the history of Juneteenth, please visit the What Is Juneteenth? webpage.
