The Ada Jenkins Center invites everyone in the Lake Norman area to celebrate Juneteenth 2023, with our third-annual Juneteenth Celebration: Saturday, June 17 (4:00-7:00pm). The afternoon will feature student and artist performances; music and dancing; the Kids Zone with bounce house, obstacle course, face painting (and more!); food and dessert trucks, and vendors.  Dinner is free for the first 400 people to stop by the Welcome Tent!  Please note that the event is later in the day than in previous years, so everyone can celebrate with nicer temperatures.

• This year, Juneteenth at the Ada Jenkins Center will feature a Black-owned business marketplace. Interested vendors must bring their own table/supplies. Space must be reserved by June 2($20 per vendor) by contacting Josh Kiser at 704.896.0471 x 131 or [email protected].
• Juneteenth 2023 at the Ada Jenkins Center is made possible by Atrium Health (Presenting Sponsor); Lowe’s (Freedom Sponsor); Davidson College and the Town of Davidson (Community Sponsors), the Brenda H. Tapia Foundation and First Citizen Bank (Liberty Sponsors); Summit Coffee (Inclusion Sponsor); and Piedmont Federal Savings Bank (Tribute Sponsor). Additional volunteer support is provided by MSC Direct.

Come shoot some hoops on the gleaming hardwoods of the newly-renovated Ada Jenkins Center gymnasium!  The summer’s Open Gym hours are listed here.  (Also, if you’re interested in helping as a volunteer gym monitor during these hours, please contact our Volunteers and Development Manager, Josh Kiser.)
