June 19th is the date in 1865 that the last group of slaves in America were informed that they were free as the Civil War had ended.  It has been a federal holiday since 2021 and Fishers celebrated the event with a Jubilee in 2025.  Conner Prairie provided the grounds and the Future Black Leaders Club of Fishers High School, along with the Fishers Arts Council, put the Jubilee together.

The weather was as good as it gets for late June in Central Indiana.  That drew a large and diverse crowd of people to the Jubilee.  Plenty of commercial booths had setup space, along with a number of nonprofit groups.  Agencies of government, such as the Fishers Health Department and the Hamilton East Library, were also there to greet the attendees.

There was music featured in this celebration.  View the video below for a small sample.

Here some some additional photos from Thursday’s Juneteenth Jubilee;
