Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park hosts a dynamic calendar of events designed to educate, inspire, and celebrate the rich legacy of the Gullah Geechee people. Each event offers a unique opportunity to engage with African-American history and culture through immersive experiences—ranging from Juneteenth festivals and community storytelling to live performances, art exhibitions, and historical reenactments. These gatherings invite guests of all backgrounds to witness the enduring spirit of Mitchelville, the first self-governed town of formerly enslaved people in America. Join us for moments of reflection, joy, and cultural celebration on the sacred grounds where freedom took root.
