| Tomorrow! Join Black Chefs in Celebrating Black Liberation and Food Traditions at Juneteenth on the Waterfront |
From smoked catfish and strawberry lemonade to jerk empanadas and Cajun gumbo, a delicious range of flavors await at the third annual Juneteenth on the Waterfront tomorrow, June 10, at the Embarcadero Ferry Terminal Plaza and Ferry Plaza Farmers Market.
Recognized as a national holiday in 2021, Juneteenth has been celebrated by African Americans since the late 1800s to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States. And no celebration is complete without the feast that brings everyone together.
We talked with some of the Black food entrepreneurs who will be on the plaza tomorrow about how their food traditions will show up on their menus. And in a video from the inaugural Juneteenth on the Waterfront in 2021, you can hear from past participants about what Juneteenth means to them and how food plays a part in its remembrance and celebration. |
