CHARDON, Ohio (WJW)– On June 19th, the lawn at the Mayfield Drive-In in Chardon is expected to be packed with cars for Juneteenth, a state-recognized holiday.
“It’s a day that just celebrates you know our freedom and liberation you know as the African American Community,” said LaRese Purnell, founder of The Real Black Friday.
A live band and DJ will greet people at the already sold-out, free event.
Along with music, Friday’s features include food and ice cream trucks, fireworks and the screening of two movies.
