Valley of the Sun Juneteenth Celebration
About Us
Valley of the Sun Juneteenth Celebration is committed to the preservation of the historic contributions of African Americans by promoting and cultivating knowledge and appreciation of Black history and culture. Valley of the Sun Juneteenth Celebration was formed in 2005 after the historic event was moved to February by the City of Phoenix. The VOS Juneteenth Committee returned the event to its original month to maintain the history of the celebration.
The VOSJ event was celebrated for nine years at South Mountain Community College until it returned to Eastlake Park in 2014, during the park's 100th anniversary.
