5th Annual Citywide Juneteenth Black Food Truck Festival

The Architect of Black Space proudly announces the return of the 5th Annual Citywide Juneteenth Black Food Truck Festival, Greensboro’s beloved tradition honoring Black liberation, culture, and entrepreneurship, on Saturday, June 14 from 5 to 11 p.m.

We give thanks to the community, our ancestors, donors, organizers, vendors, and our sponsors Visit Greensboro, Greensboro Parks & Rec, and North Carolina A&T. 

The 2025 Juneteenth Trailblazers Award will be a part of the opening ceremony at 6 p.m. They will be honoring the late Pat Fortune who brought Juneteenth to the city in 1994, her family will receive her recognition and our gratitude on her behalf. The torch was carried by April Parker, who started curating Juneteenth celebrations in 2015 and worked in 2020 to make Juneteenth an official holiday in our city. Together, as we celebrate the fifth annual Juneteenth tradition, our honors will be awarded by Greensboro’s Mayor Nancy Vaughn. Speakers also include Guilford County’s own Rep. Amos Quick and Mayor of Durham Leonardo Williams as our inaugural speakers and distinguished political orators.

There will also be an open mic as part of the Juneteenth Black Food Truck Festival. This gives the audience the ability to become a part of the curation. Grandmothers telling Juneteenth stories, political insights, and performers of all kinds are welcome to sign up at the DJ booths starting at 5 p.m. The open mic is sponsored by Kids Poetry Basketball and will take place at 8 p.m. in Lebauer Park.
