Help commemorate the end of slavery at the Scotland Juneteenth Heritage Festival in Montgomery County, from Saturday, June 15, through Wednesday, June 19.
The festival began in 2023 as a way to highlight the history of Scotland—a predominantly African American community that dates to the late 1800s—and to help raise money for the restoration of a local church.
AARP Maryland is a sponsor of this year’s festival, which will feature a 5K run, wellness fair, carnival and other activities.
