Juneteenth 2026 at Durand-Hedden brought together one of the largest and most enthusiastic crowds we've ever welcomed for this annual event. Visitors of all ages enjoyed a day of music, art, poetry, history, family activities, food, and community. Photographer Claire Sinclair captured the spirit of the day and the many moments that made this celebration so memorable.
