CINCINNATI OFFICIAL JUNETEENTH PARADE
REIMAGINED: PARADE OF FLAGS

In Collaboration with Juneteenth Cincinnati (38 Years Strong)

Now in our 4th year, we’re doing something different—but no less powerful.

Join us on Saturday, June 14, 2025 at Eden Park as part of the annual celebration presented by Juneteenth Cincinnati, now in its 38th year! We’re honored to join this legacy event with a special Parade of Flags beginning at 11:30 AM sharp—a vibrant, symbolic procession honoring the African Diaspora and the resilience of our ancestors.

Following the parade

Enjoy a full day of Juneteenth festivities until 9 PM, including live performances (with a special appearance by Raydio), a children’s area with horseback riding and games, delicious food, Black-owned vendors, art, and cultural exhibits. This meaningful day of reflection and joy sets the stage for the The Cincinnati Official Juneteenth parade’s 5th anniversary return in 2025—and we invite the entire community to be part of it!
