If you want to experience a genuine ghost tour with real hauntings commonly experienced on tours, and not “orbs” on cameras, embark on a night you’ll never forget. Join us on our nightly walk through haunted Williamsburg, VA with our licensed tour guides! Our stories are based on research, eyewitness haunting interviews, and a ghost story book connected to factual and historic events. Tours walk through the historic Colonial area of Williamsburg.

Commemorate Juneteenth – an American celebration that marks the end of slavery in the United States. Although the name springs from events that happened in Galveston, Texas, in 1865, the origins date to Jamestown as the place where the first recorded Africans in 1619 were brought after landing at Old Point Comfort and where the first slavery laws enacted in the late 17th century impacted their lives and status.

Join the Williamsburg community as we gather to commemorate, celebrate, and reflect on the Black experience in America at this year's annual Juneteenth Opening Ceremony on Market Square here at Colonial Williamsburg. By looking back, looking around, and looking within, we are challenged to evaluate the foundations of inequality and move forward together, committing ourselves to the unfinished work of eradicating systemic racism.

Join us for Juneteenth at the Custis Square archaeological site! Take a tour of the archaeological site and learn about Pompey, Alice, Jack, and the other enslaved men, women, and children who lived and worked at Custis Square. Talk with archaeologists as they work to understand how the landscape at Custis Square reflects the presence and contributions of enslaved people. Stay to meet Peter, an enslaved man who liberated himself from John Custis IV and made his way to parts unknown in 1745.

For many of us, the stories of our past and where we come from are passed down through generations by word of mouth. This is especially true for African Americans. Many times, these stories are not written down and survive only in our memory. The joy and the pain are often undocumented. Sometimes the stories are forgotten and lost forever.

Nadia Koz is a 757 musician based here in the Burg. Whenever she hops on the mic you know it’s going to be a great night. This stargazing weirdo plays motown-y soul-y punk-y bluesy music and is sure to get you in the groove. Come join us at BRass Cannon for a fun night out this weekend. Cheers!

The Juneteenth programming concludes at 9 p.m. with the debut of Honor & Reflection, a contemplative multimedia installation at the ongoing excavation of the historic First Baptist Churchs first permanent location of South Nassau Street in the Historic Area. The installation will be on view nightly through July 4, 8:30-10:30 p.m. Weather depending.
