The public is invited to a Juneteenth Festival at Town at Trilith on Saturday, June 18*.
The streets surrounding Trilith’s Town Centre will be filled with activities from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., including food trucks, a balloon arch for photos, face painting, street vendors, activities for children, and yard games. The day’s events will include the opportunity to hear spoken word poetry by Jamaica West and Preston Perry as well as see performances of African dance. In addition to entertainment by DJ Kidd Kreme, there will be live music as well.
“It’s not very often that we get to experience the addition of a new federal holiday, Juneteenth. We are excited to offer unique opportunities for attendees to better understand and experience Juneteenth and celebrate freedom,” Anna Messer, Trilith event manager, shared.
According to history.com, Juneteenth honors the end of slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday. On June 17, 2021, it officially became a federal holiday.
Along with the ever-expanding retail and restaurant district, Trilith's 235-acre master-planned residential and mixed-use development is known for balancing small town community charm with big city creativity and storytelling for its residents, many with ties to the film industry. The award-winning new urbanist community includes nearly 1,400 residential homes, ranging from micro homes and treehouses to gated custom estates and Provencal cottages, all within walking distance of retail, restaurants, and parks.
Both the event and parking for the event are free. Participants may park in the retail parking lot on Trilith Parkway and at Piedmont Wellness Center.
The Town at Trilith is located at 305 Trilith Parkway, Fayetteville, Ga. To stay informed of activities throughout the year at Trilith, follow @TownatTrilith on social media.
