Greetings!

We are excited to invite you to participate in the Acres Homes Juneteenth Parade, taking place on Saturday, June 21, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. The parade route begins at 6719 West Montgomery Road and concludes at 1620 Dolly Wright Street.

Hosted by Ashley Turner Captain, this beloved community tradition—created in 2008 by the late Honorable Sylvester Turner—has become a signature celebration in Acres Homes, one of Houston’s historic neighborhoods and a cornerstone of the Complete Communities initiative. We anticipate welcoming more than 5,000 attendees for a day filled with pride, culture, and community connection.
