Juneteenth

Although it was a full 2 years after the announcement of the Emancipation Proclamation, Texas slaves weren't freed until June 19th, 1865, now celebrated as Juneteenth throughout the state.

From a Freedom Fair to area festivals, the revelry throughout the state on this official holiday are rivaled only by July 4th. Be sure not to miss out by visiting San Antonio during your next vacation.

Bring the whole family as well, as most festivities are appropriate for all ages, including children. From area parties to local art exhibitions, this is one event you won't want to miss.
