ATLANTIC CITY — In our effort to provide the most extensive coverage of Juneteenth events in South Jersey, Front Runner New Jersey will not publish just one calendar of events, but multiple posts highlighting various events.
This approach will allow us to highlight Juneteenth events as we receive them, reducing the chances of anyone being left out or added to the calendar after most people have already viewed it. Here is the first edition of our 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.
