Last update: 10 hours ago

Juneteenth + Obama Center: Barack and Michelle Obama welcomed the first public visitors to the newly opened Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, with Juneteenth events across the U.S. framing the opening as a celebration of freedom and a test of the country’s racial progress.

Family-Friendly Weekend: Elgin’s Woofstock fundraiser (June 28) pairs music with adoptable pets, crafts, raffles, and vendors, while multiple outdoor concerts were rescheduled after storms.
