2026 Delaware
City-Polktown
Juneteenth Observance Events
Juneteenth — the 19th of June of every
year has been a national holiday in the United States since
President Joe Biden signed the bill, Pub. L. 117-17, on
June 17, 2021. For many decades the joy of Juneteenth has
been celebrated in Black communities with family and community
gatherings.
This year, the FAUCC is celebrating
by organizing the Delaware City/Polktown Juneteenth Observance.
In conjunction with Main Street, the Delaware City Library
and the Mt. Salem U.A.M.E. Church, we will begin, as the
USCT did, on Shove Off Day and end on June 19th.
Planning has begun and has far to go, but we have the enthusiastic
support of the City of Delaware City and many residents,
Black and White, including some descendants of early Polktown
residents.
