Juneteenth Mobility Stroll & Roll

Join the East Dearborn Downtown Develoment Authority for the first annual Juneteenth Mobility Stroll & Roll! As part of our Homage to Black Excellence programming, this event is an inclusive celebration of Juneteenth and the date of Emancipation that enabled African Americans to move freely through the country. In honor of this date and the freedom it represents, we will stroll and roll our way from Dearborn to the border of Detroit and back. A broad range of transportation modes that represent the current ways that we connect with one another and the broader community will include bikes, skateboards, roller skates, scooters, hybrid buses and walking. The route will begin at Michigan Avenue and Schaefer and end at City Hall Park. Several stops are planned along the route. The Stroll and Roll will also have an array of fun activities geared toward all ages including a Kid’s Zone and a vendor area as part of the attractions. A kickoff program will commence at 9 AM with dignitary speakers, music, and a stretching session to get the crowd ready to roll! The Roll & Stroll will start at 10 AM.
