    Join us for an unforgettable Juneteenth weekend!

    FCDC is a proud sponsor of this year’s Juneteenth weekend, scheduled for Friday, June 19 and Saturday, June 20 in Warrenton. More than ever, it’s time to show up united as a community to celebrate our freedoms and to support the local Black community. Recent assaults on the Voting Rights Acts nationally and threats to our community right here in Fauquier deserve a strong response in the form of celebration, unity, cultural appreciation, music, dance, fellowship and, of course, some incredible food.

    We encourage you to sign up to volunteer at the FCDC booth by emailing secretary@fauquierdemocrats.org. Note that the festival runs for two days this year.

    Joy and celebration are acts of resistance in this time, and we hope that you will join us for the biggest and best Juneteenth weekend yet.
