Gather & Celebrate Juneteenth with Hungry Howie’s Pizza

Juneteenth, observed each year on June 19th, is a powerful and meaningful holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. As communities across the country come together to honor this important day, Hungry Howie’s proudly recognizes and supports the spirit of freedom, unity, and reflection.

What is Juneteenth?

Juneteenth marks the moment in 1865 when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned they were free, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. That day, June 19th, became a turning point and a lasting symbol of freedom, resilience, and progress for many Black Americans. 

On June 17, 2021, Juneteenth became a federal holiday and continues to grow in public awareness. As a cultural and historical milestone, it is often commemorated across the country with parades, music, education, and, of course, Juneteenth food. It’s a time to honor the past while celebrating the strides made toward equality and community empowerment.

How to Celebrate Juneteenth as a Community

A Juneteenth celebration can be as vibrant and diverse as the communities that host them. Whether you're organizing a neighborhood cookout, a family gathering in the park, or a classroom learning session, the core values remain the same: reflection, inclusion, and togetherness.

Here are a few ideas to get your Juneteenth gathering started:

  • Host a potluck or pizza party with friends, family, or coworkers.
  • Support Black-owned businesses and local vendors.
  • Play music, tell stories, and create space for reflection.
  • Enjoy classic and modern Juneteenth food, from classic barbeque fare to your favorite pizzas.
