Head to Zenger Farm for the 5th annual Juneteenth Celebration focused on history, community and education.

Zenger Farm is a 24-acre combined farm and wetland in southeast Portland. The urban farm hosts educational activities in a natural environment. Programs teach kids and adults the importance of food, farming, wetland conservation and environmental stewardship.

Here’s how you can participate in the annual event:

On Saturday, June 10, from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., Zenger Farm’s community chefs are leading the annual Juneteenth celebration. The federal holiday is recognized on June 19. This event is intentionally scheduled the weekend before to give space to Black led organizations and their celebrations.

Activities during the celebration include:

Black led organizations and vendors
Lunch curated by the community chefs
A wellness station with Do-it-yourself demos
