Juneteenth "A Time for Love"

Event Details

Dozens of local musicians are coming together to commemorate Juneteenth this year in a Music TV special called "A Time for Love" and will help support the Utica area food supply. Since 1996, Juneteenth has been celebrated annually in the Utica area. This year, the celebration of Juneteenth will look and feel very different, for more reasons than one. “I called to find out what their plans were for Juneteenth this year they said they had canceled. And I didn't want it to cancel,” said Cassandra Harris-Lockwood, CEO of For The Good, Inc.

Local musicians including “Doc” Woods, Monk Rowe and Harris-Lockwood will perform music to honor Juneteenth’s message of racial equality, freedom, and justice. While protests spread across the country declaring justice for George Floyd and police brutality, this year's celebration has an even greater impact. “I don't think it could be any more importan.t I don't think it could be a better time for these messages,” said Harris-Lockwood.The festival's sponsorships will also benefit for the good's community garden which helps the food insecure in the area.
