Despite the Civil War having ended 2 1/2 years earlier, many slavers still held African Americans enslaved until this date in 1865. The holiday has recently become a federal holiday, but has been recognized by individual states independently for many years (or even decades!). North Carolina has recognized Juneteenth since 2007.]]> 2021-11-22 21:04:34 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_conte/TCABSession6/wish/1907006570 https://padlet.com/andrea_conte/TCABSession6/wish/1916453824 Tulip Time celebrates tulips, Dutch heritage, and the Holland, Michigan community today.

This has allowed me the opportunity to directly contribute to the culture of our city and school community by bringing artists and individuals of many cultures together in celebration of the arts.

It all takes place at the local Greek Orthodox cathedral every summer.]]> 2021-12-04 17:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_conte/TCABSession6/wish/1928912685 rosa_salazar2 https://padlet.com/andrea_conte/TCABSession6/wish/1928934219 The Washington's Birthday Celebration is a month-long event held in February. It is the largest event of its kind in the U.S. with about 400,000 people attending. 
The celebration consists of various festivals; a Society of Martha Washington Colonial Pageant and Ball, Princess Pocahontas Pageant and Ball, two parades, a carnival, an air show, fireworks, live concerts, "Fun-Fest" at Laredo Community College, and a citywide prom during which many of the Laredo elite dress in colonial attire. Each year a prominent Laredo man and woman play the roles of George and Martha Washington. 
One of its main events, the Jalapeño Festival, has recently been named one of Top 10 eating festivals in the United States. George Washington never did visit or even know of Laredo, TX.
