COMPTON, Calif. - nvtip -- St. John's Community Health, in partnership with the city of Compton, will host the We Are Us Festival on Saturday, June 20th, from noon to 4 p.m. at Lueders Park, 1500 E. Rosecrans Ave., marking the first year Compton will hold a Juneteenth celebration.

The free community event will bring families, residents, artists, health advocates, local organizations, and community leaders together for culture, wellness, resources, and unity. Attendees will find food, games, a resource fair, family giveaways, health and wellness resources, community recognition, and live entertainment throughout the afternoon.

The festival will also offer free diapers, lunch, resources, and giveaways while supplies last. Organizers said the event is designed to celebrate freedom while connecting residents to practical support and services that strengthen families.

Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and is recognized as a celebration of freedom, resilience, Black history, and the ongoing work toward equity. For St. John's Community Health, the celebration is also an opportunity to highlight the connection between cultural pride, community wellness, and health equity.
