Juneteenth festivities commence with added safety measures

This year’s Juneteenth Festivities have officially kicked off in Tulsa’s Greenwood District.

Guests all said they are grateful for the chance to celebrate, and hope everyone does so safely.

To ensure that, leaders implemented some new security measures this year, to provide more safety for guests after concerns were raised about last year’s shooting:

  • A fence was installed around the festival’s perimeter
  • Guests were required to register to make it in to the celebration
  • Guests need to be cleared through a new security checkpoint for entry
