Juneteenth happens every year on June 19. It is the oldest national celebration of the ending of slavery in the United States.

The Juneteenth parade is open for the public and will affect area traffic conditions. During the event, the parade will also crowding at Rosewood Park.

The city of Austin encourages carpooling or using buses and bikes to get to these events.

For the fourth year, channelAustin comes together with artistic teens who will take the annual parade beyond East Austin and across Central Texas.

ChannelAustin is a digital media center available to everyone living in Austin.

The parade will broadcast live from channelAustin plus simulcast live in partnership with KLRU Q — which will be produced by teens with the Juneteenth Camp.

These young people get to practice hands-on training with high-definition equipment that will coach them on how to produce a live show on parade day.
