Editor’s Note: This gallery is part of a summer series from The Cavalier Daily photo desk staff. Over the course of the summer, photo staffers will craft galleries which capture moments from different places in Charlottesville and beyond.

This year, Charlottesville is marking the 160th anniversary of Juneteenth with a variety of community events, including celebrations held today at Eastwood Farm and Winery, Historic River View Farm and The Art Bar. But for many residents, the festivities began Saturday morning, when more than 400 attendees gathered at the Jefferson School City Center to kick off the week.
