Juneteenth is back, in a big way.

Thousands of people turned out on June 19 to celebrate Juneteenth, a new federal holiday and a date long marked by festivities in Five Points, Denver's historic Black neighborhood, and rain didn't put a damper on the celebration. The bash continues today, June 20, on Welton Street.
