Rounding out the weekend is the annual Juneteenth Black Arts Festival, hosted by Community Organizing for Racial Equity - CORE at the Chatham County Fairgrounds on Sat, Jun 20, 2pm-6pm. Since 2018, the festival has evolved from a 100-person event into one that now draws over 3,000 people from across the Triangle region, all celebrating the impact of Black arts, culture, and entrepreneurship on Chatham County and American culture as a whole. This year's event promises a range of live entertainment and art, food trucks, educational opportunities, a Black business expo, and a Spades Tournament: https://corenc.org/juneteenth-2026/
