ATLANTIC CITY – In our effort to have the most extensive coverage of Juneteenth events in South Jersey, Front Runner New Jersey will not just make one calendar of event but make multiple posts of events.

This way, we will highlight Juneteenth events as they come to us and there will be less of a chance of people being left out and added to our calendar after most people have viewed it. Here is our first edition of the upcoming Juneteenth events.

EDITOR’S NOTE: If you don’t see your event here, contact us ASAP. Our second Juneteenth event story will post on Thursday, June 12.
