Just the Basics

Here are a few easy suggestions for planning your Juneteenth event to get you started:
  • Since this is still a somewhat new holiday, provide an opportunity for a local non-profit or historical organization to speak or have informational booths to improve understanding.
  • Schedule a Food Truck to serve lunch. Consider a blackowned business or soul-food vendor. If your budget allows, provide free food or discounts. This can be tied to anyone in costume, and then you coordinate with the food truck vendor at the end of the day to pay out anything they’ve awarded. If budget doesn’t allow for rewards, the tenants will still appreciate being able to buy their own lunch while having fun on-site.   
    • We can help you determine a budget based on activities at your other events if needed. Most trucks will work on a maximum so you can give them your budget number and they’ll stop serving free food once that’s reached.  
    • Food Truck Discount Examples: Most food trucks will work with you to create a package to meet your budget. Ideas for how you might incorporate free tenant food include giving the first 20 people in costume free lunch, paying for the first $500 spent at the truck, or paying for an appetizer for anyone in costume up to $250.
