The City of Fort Worth will host the Juneteenth Kick-Off Festival on Tuesday, June 9, at City Hall, 100 Fort Worth Trail.

Food trucks will be parked outside City Hall from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and vendors will be located inside City Hall from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

Music will be provided by a DJ, and councilmembers will provide remarks on the significance of Juneteenth.

The event is open to all employees and the public. It will be followed by a special recognition at the City Council meeting at 6 p.m. in the Council Chamber honoring Dr. Opal Lee in celebration of her 100th birthday.

Each year, the City of Fort Worth must decide how to allocate limited resources to provide services to the community. The Budget Priorities Survey is a new opportunity for residents to share which services matter most to them and provide input on possible changes.

The survey is anonymous and the feedback collected will help City leaders understand community priorities during the Fiscal Year 2027 budget development process. We encourage you to complete the survey and help inform the FY27 budget.
