Johnson County Government will hold its third annual Juneteenth celebration at Lenexa's civic campus.

The program will include keynote speaker Glenn North, emcee Steve Arledge, live music from the Louis Neal Big Band with vocalist Lisa Henry, comments and proclamation from Board of County Commissioners Chairman Mike Kelly, and more. This year’s event will also honor the memory of our friend and past emcee, Nathan Louis Jackson.

At the event, the public can enjoy children’s activities and a craft area, engage with staff representing various county programs and services, purchase food and beverages from the Lenexa Public Market and park for free.
