7th Annual Malden Juneteenth Freedom Celebration: All Are Welcome!

Divine Wonders, we are back!!! Malden Juneteenth is back for the 7th year in a row. Yes, I said the 7th year!&nbsp;And, like every year, we are bringing you a Junetheenth celebration that'll feed your&nbsp;mind, body and soul. We're also going to have plenty of opportunities for you all to support our local Black-owned businesses, so don't forget your cash and cards at home. Lastly, we're going to be outside at the Lincoln Commons, which&nbsp;will be perfect for that family&nbsp;bonding time&nbsp;or chill but fun date you've been dying to have. Bring your&nbsp;portable&nbsp;chair and blankets or take advantage of limited seating provided at the event. In case Mother Nature decides to give us rain that day, the rain location will be the Ferryway School,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/search/150+Cross+Street,+Malden+MA?entry=gmail&amp;source=g" target="_blank">150 Cross Street, Malden MA</a>.&nbsp; We start with our annual flag raising at 11am, and just to give you a teaser, here is the lineup of performers that you won't want to miss!&nbsp;<ul><li>Keynote and poetry by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.brownskinnedpoet.net/" target="_blank">Terry E.
