Come out and enjoy this free celebration that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and honors the contributions of African Americans to American music, food, art, business, and culture.

Enjoy a market with local minority-owned vendors, live music expanding many genres, speeches from elected officials, and visual & performing art all day long from the pavilion at Redemption Square.

In addition to a selection of food trucks, the restaurants at Redemption Square are open. The Kids Zone bought to us by HEB, will feature face painters, balloon artists, crafts, and more.
