MAPC at Juneteenth Parade

Juneteenth is a freedom festival on Madison's South Side, commemorating the freeing of the slaves. MAPC will march in the Juneteenth Parade again this year, and we invite you to join us. We seek to provide a powerful alternative to the military presence that is usually at this event. Gather at 9:30am prior to parade kickoff at 10am. We can provide signs and banners for peace! Other groups in the parade will include children's dance and step groups, and other groups. Marching in the parade is an informal and fun activity, especially for kids. You get to walk through several South Madison streets (about 45 minutes) and end up at Penn Park at the Juneteenth extravaganza.
