Saturday, April 8
recurring event
The Juneteenth Brown Bag Lecture Series hosted by Visit Galveston and tourism partners across the island will help us celebrate the history of Juneteenth year-round with guest speakers, writers or historians who will educate and discuss the history of Juneteenth. Future dates will take place the second Saturday of each month at noon during 2023 across the island at a different attraction to increase the exposure of each site and allow visitors a chance to learn more about the history of the island.
