This year is the 10th annual Juneteenth in the city of Meridian.

Juneteenth marks the occasion when slaves in the Western-most part of the Confederacy found out about the Emancipation Proclamation.

Organizers say there was plenty of food and fun for the event, which was held in the city's African-American historical district.
