Sunday, June 16, 2024 – Reading Pops Orchestra Annual Fathers’ Day and Juneteenth Celebration Concert – 3:00 PM – Green Valley Chateau Tent

Join us for our annual free concert celebrating Fathers’ Day and Juneteenth!  The Pops has been celebrating fathers since the founding of the orchestra with our traditional Pops concert on Fathers’ Day.

The newest US national holiday of Juneteenth commemorates the day the message of the Emancipation Proclamation, issued on January 1, 1863, finally was verbally delivered in Texas, June 19, 1866, and the last enslaved people were released.  Celebrations of the emancipation began that day, and grew over the years in communities across the South, eventually spreading to other parts of the country.
