Rooted in history, this tradition began in 1992 when resident LaVerne Ross, granddaughter of an enslaved man, championed the city’s first Juneteenth event—making Santa Monica a pioneer in recognizing the holiday decades before it became federal. With Juneteenth now a national holiday, city offices close and parking enforcement pauses to mark the day. Whether you crave quiet healing or vibrant community, Santa Monica delivers both—free and open to all. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
