About the event:
Mansfield — get ready! The Annual Juneteenth Parade & Festival returns Saturday, June 13, bigger and brighter than ever at its new home: Mansfield Senior High School, 124 N. Linden Rd. This free, all day community celebration promises more energy, more entertainment, and more ways to come together in honor of heritage, resilience, and joy.
The celebration begins with a powerful parade at 11 a.m. at Arlin Field. The parade features marching bands from Mansfield Senior, Columbus Linden McKinley, and Columbus South, the Canton En Rich Ment Drumline, dance teams from across Ohio, local churches, businesses, community groups, and political candidates. This year’s Grand Marshal is Brigitte Coles, We ACT Co Founder, Richland County Children Services Community Engagement Supervisor, Author and former television broadcaster.
The parade starts at Arlin Field, proceeds down West 4th Street, and ends at Mansfield Senior High School. Parking is available at Mid – Ohio Educational Service Center, 890 W. 4th St. A free shuttle will run between the parking area, parade, and festival grounds throughout the day.
At 12 p.m., the festival opens with food, music and live entertainment, book signing with local authors, vendors, line dancing, health fair and activities for all ages.
This year’s entertainment lineup includes soulful and high energy performances from CONNE, Just Us, and Chasing Dreams.
With a focus on health equity, voter engagement, economic empowerment, and education, this year’s event is more than a celebration — it’s a commitment to community.
