About The Event

Join us as we learn about the traditional cuisines of Juneteenth. Preparing your favorite dish to share is highly encouraged but not required.

Note: Juneteenth food is often red. These celebrations at public parks have historically included parades, the reading of President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclomation, and the main event—the food. Prior to the celebrations in 1933, the Dallas Morning News reported that, "watermelon, barbecue and red lemonade will be consumed in quantity.” Indeed, laid across their plates were charcoal-grilled meats, greens, black-eyed peas, and teacakes, but also an assortment of foods and drinks with red hues.

Red velvet cake, red strawberry soda, and red punch always made appearances. For a long time, relatives told young ones that the red symbolized the blood of the millions of enslaved people who had suffered and died. But the red foods and drinks may have had a longer history that began on the continent these people were taken from.

According to culinary historian Michael Twitty in Afroculinaria: The practice of eating red foods—red cake, barbecue, punch and fruit– may owe its existence to the enslaved Yoruba and Kongo brought to Texas in the 19th century.
