DESCRIPTION:Community Organizing for Racial Equity (CORE) welcomes you to p
 articipate in their Annual Juneteenth Black Arts Festival on Sat\, Jun 20\
 , 2026\, 2pm-6pm at the Chatham County Fairgrounds. Since 2018\, the Junet
 eenth event has undergone significant transformation\, growing from its in
 itial location\, which accommodated 100 people\, to one that now draws ove
 r 3\,000 attendees from across the Triangle region.\n\nJuneteenth Black Ar
 ts Festival is a dedicated space of reverence for the impact of Black arts
  and culture on American culture. They commit to offering an opportunity f
 or Black artists and entrepreneurs to build relationships and increase the
 ir exposure across communities. They honor the creative genius and spirit 
 of excellence that prevails within the Black community because they recogn
 ize barriers that remain in place today\, excluding them from mainstream b
 usiness opportunities.\n\nAll are welcome to this free community event. Th
 ey have quite a festival planned for this year's celebration\, which will 
 highlight Black artists\, both local and from afar\; educational opportuni
 ties about Juneteenth\, the history of the celebration\, and the resilienc
 e of Black culture through Black arts\; and a vision for liberation. Atten
 dees can also enjoy live entertainment\, art\, a Black business expo\, foo
 d trucks\, a heritage walk\, and kids' activities\, all while challenging 
 stereotypes and building pride in the dynamic heritage of Black Americans 
 and American culture. This year's event will also include a Spades Tournam
 ent.\n\nSee key links\, including vendor information\, below:\n\nNonprofit
