The City of Mansfield, Texas, is dishing out a double serving of Juneteenth celebrations, extending an invitation to all for a culturally rich weekend. In announcing the events on social media, the city beckoned residents to immerse themselves in the Freedom's Voice art exhibit, designed to honor African and African-American culture. This free gathering, held last night at the Wallace-Hall Art House, was more than just a visual feast; attendees enjoyed the pulse of live music, sated their appetites with local food vendors, and refreshed themselves with a variety of drinks. The City of Mansfield's social media post described the exhibit as a place where you'll encounter art from North Texas artists that "celebrates African and African-American culture."
The weekend continues with another Juneteenth-centric event, marking Saturday with the Taste of Black Mansfield Food Truck Edition. Located at Vernon Newsom Stadium, Visit Mansfield is setting the stage from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. for a day rich with local performances, including the Timberview High School Varsity Chorale, and filling the air with music steeped in the history and the heart of Juneteenth.
As described in the City of Mansfield's post, embarking on this gastronomic and cultural journey, attendees will be treated to "Juneteenth-centered music, presentations, and performances from local artists."
