Syracuse celebrates Juneteenth this weekend around downtown; however, be on the lookout for street closings starting today.

These will be in place through Sunday morning:

  • Clinton Street from Genesee St. to Washington St.
  • Erie Boulevard West from Clinton to Franklin St.
  • W. Water Street from Clinton to Franklin

The Juneteenth flag will be raised tomorrow at City Hall, and there will also be a festival in Clinton Square.

The annual parade steps off Saturday, and an ancestral celebration is set to be held at city hall on Wednesday, June 19, the official Juneteenth holiday.
