Since 2004, the Oldham County History Center has celebrated Juneteenth as an important way to recognize the contributions of Oldham County’s African American culture.

This year, the History Center will be hosting a banquet to honor the 2025 recipient of the Elijah Marrs Achievement Award, Major General Craig Q. Timberlake. The banquet will include both dinner and entertainment by the Bourbon and Brass Jazz Band.

The celebration will take place at CityPlace Pavilion on Saturday, June 21st, 2025 from 6 PM to 9M. Doors open at 5:30. The event is free to the public but reservations are limited and MUST be made in advance via Eventbrite.
