FATE, TX (May 18, 2026) — After more than a year of planning and seeking approval, EmpowerED Outreach is proud to announce that Juneteenth Freedom Fest has officially been approved by the City of Fate and will take place on Saturday, June 20, 2026 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. CST at Robert Smith Family Park in Fate.
The event is free and open to the public. Families, residents, local businesses, community partners, and supporters are invited to come together for a meaningful celebration honoring freedom, culture, history, unity, and community connection.
Juneteenth Freedom Fest is designed to be a family-friendly celebration that creates space for education, reflection, joy, and togetherness. The event will highlight the importance of remembering history while also bringing the Rockwall community together in a positive and welcoming environment.
