Evolving Juneteenth of New Bern 2023 Celebration Event Schedule
In late 2022, JONB received it's official tax-exempt status dating back to 2021. Additionally, in April 2023 the City of New Bern Board of Alderman voted to make the JONB Celebration festival a city-sponsored event and gave city employees a 13th holiday (flex) in honor of Juneteenth!
Juneteenth of New Bern exists exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. Powered by volunteers, its mission is to actively preserve and promote the broad spectrum of African American heritage through educational and cultural activities that will benefit the community as a whole. Juneteenth of New Bern is a nonprofit that partners with existing organizations with similar community-based objectives to help achieve its mission.
