In the last three years, a consistent turnout and interest has prompted Spartanburg Juneteenth to increase its footprint within the community. In 2016, Spartanburg Juneteenth had roughly 300-400 attendees. We hope to reach 1000 in 2017. Beyond sheer numbers, we ultimately hope to leave the attendees with an appreciation and an awe of the history of African-Americans since emancipation.​
