Today, we honor Juneteenth—a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates freedom, resilience, and the continued pursuit of equality.
As we reflect on the significance of this day, it's also an opportunity to come together as neighbors, support local communities, and celebrate the rich history and culture that make them stronger.
If you're looking for ways to celebrate, here are a few local events happening in the communities we proudly serve:
📍 Washington
• Tacoma: Juneteenth Washington Festival – One of the state's largest celebrations featuring live music, cultural performances, food vendors, local businesses, and family-friendly activities.

📍 Ohio
• Cleveland: African American Museum of Cleveland's Juneteenth Celebration – Enjoy live entertainment, local vendors, food, and educational experiences honoring Black history and culture.
