The NAACP, Berkshire County Branch’s annual Juneteenth celebration kicks off with a flag raising and freedom walk from City Hall to Durant Park in Pittsfield, where festivities begin at noon. The day features live entertainment, food, vendors, and family-friendly activities, including a basketball tournament, music, crafts, and free ice cream for the first 200 children, free meals for all fathers. Highlights include a nondenominational worship service, student scholarships ceremony, and the unveiling of a mural honoring the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment.
