As Seattle observes the holiday for the first time with a quiet Monday at City Hall, there was a wealth of Juneteenth celebrations across the city and the Central District Sunday including a day of roller skate dancing in Judkins Park.
The Juneteenth Celebration: Skate Party & Community Day was hosted by the Northwest African American Museum and included complimentary skate rentals for people to join the fun.
You’ll want to keep those wheels rolling. Pride on Capitol Hill will feature a roller party at the smooth and well paved AIDS Memorial Pathway Plaza on Saturday:

Pride Dance Skate @ Seattle PrideFest Capitol Hill
Saturday, June 25th — 5 PM to 7 PM
920 E Barbara Bailey Way
Seattle Pridefest organizers say DJ Trent Von and DJ Harmony Soleil of C89.5 will be on hand to spin the tunes and add that the buildings surrounding the plaza above Capitol Hill Station should provide enough shade for what are expected to be temperatures in the 80s.
Meanwhile, the annual PrideFest street festival returns on Broadway starting Saturday at noon.

This was so fun – the organizers did such a great job with it, and the DJs were perfect. My family had a blast, and everyone else was clearly loving it, too.
