40 ACRE CONFERENCE SCHEDULE
The entire Juneteenth Freedom Festival, from the 9th to the 19th, will be held at various locations in Houston, TX. These locations include the WindRose Golf Club, The George Theater, Art Galleries, Fields, Parade, and Festival Downtown.
Our mission is to sponsor 1,000 kids and young HBCU students from around the country, enabling them to become what they aspire to be. Our main goal is to create a billion-dollar minority revenue-generating holiday, similar to Black Friday. We aim to kick off the weekend with our signature events, fostering cashflow, community, and culture. Additionally, we will extend the festival's reach by hosting 60 citywide events that offer cash and prizes. These exciting VIP events will contribute to fundraising efforts for the kids and HBCU students throughout the festival.
