Counting Down To The 2026 Celebration!

The 2026 Savannah Juneteenth Fine Arts Festival will take shape as a bold, city-wide season of celebration honoring freedom, culture, and collective progress—from late May through June. The journey begins in late May with the Dreams Fulfilled Scholarship Gala, setting the foundation for weeks centered on empowerment, education, and artistic expression.

Leading into Juneteenth, Savannah will be energized by a series of signature experiences, including the Miss Savannah Juneteenth Scholarship Pageant, thoughtfully curated luncheons, cultural tasting experiences highlighting the traditions and flavors of the African diaspora, and interactive programming designed to engage and inspire all generations.

The season will culminate on Saturday, June 20, 2026, with a re-envisioned closing celebration that invites the community to gather in a new and meaningful way. With a fresh take on the traditional festival format, this finale will blend culture, creativity, and connection—bringing the Juneteenth season to a powerful and memorable close.

Save the date and plan to join us—2026 promises a Juneteenth season you won’t want to miss.
