What an amazing time on Friday, June 16th at the P-PAC (Plainfield Performing Arts Center) on Park Avenue. The community came out to celebrate the City of Plainfield's 1st Annual Juneteenth Celebration.

Our special guest Kaleb Porter with NJ Orators reminded us of the History of Juneteenth, The Promised Land, and Call for Celebration. T. Moultrie and New Generation Worship Center Praise Team shared songs of encouragement and celebration; Zawadi African Dance & Drum transported us with the tribal experience of dance and drum rhythms that extended from our ancestors.

As some gathered inside for the program, others stayed outside to enjoy the food trucks, community jumping double dutch, and swinging the hula hoop. Enjoying the memories of how we use to gather together with food, games, and much laughter.

The Love Plainfield committee has curated another event which demonstrates how we can bond together to educate, enlighten, and encourage our Plainfield community. Be sure to join us for other up-coming events such as our Queen City Street Fair on June 24^th and the 4^th of July Parade and Concert.

Special thanks to Mayor Adrian O. Mapp; Council President Charles McRae; Council VP Terri Briggs-Jones; Councilman Barry N. Goode; Councilman Richard Wyatt; Councilman Robert Graham; Councilman Steve G. Hockaday; Assemblywoman Linda Carter; Commissioner Rebecca Williams; and the entire Plainfield Community.
