For the second year, nearly 30 black-owned restaurants and vendors will fill the front lawn of the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site for the Juneteenth Foodways Festival.
INDIANAPOLIS — Monday is Juneteenth, a holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States.
There's an old saying that food is good for the soul. And when it comes to celebrating Juneteenth, food is an important part of the tradition. "We had a great turnout with over 1,100 attendees in 2022, our inaugural year. We have sold out almost 2,000 tickets this year and we have a waiting list," Wallace said.He appointed the first black chef in the White House, Laura"Dolly" Johnson, a Kentucky native, in the late 1800s, just a few years after Juneteenth was first celebrated.
"We will have hot dogs, polish sausage, smoked sausage and we'll also have walking tacos," Natasha Williams, Owner of The Coney Lady, said."I found my niche in hot dogs about three years ago. I decided that I really wasn't ready to traditionally return back to the workforce, so I tried my hand at a lot of things. One Friday I had a coney sale and they sold out."
