A Message from our Founder:
Dear VBLM Village,
The Virginia Black Lifestyle Magazine, LLC (VBLM) is the PROUD sponsor of The Virginia Juneteenth Parade! In 2019 I had a vision of hosting a Juneteenth Parade in my community. Of course COVID-19 thwarted plans for the 2020 event, but with community support and incredible volunteers, the vision for the Parade became a reality in 2021 and each consequential year - growing in its impact and success!
​
In 2024, The Virginia Black Lifestyle Magazine is sponsored the "4th Annual Greater Prince William Juneteenth Parade" with the National Park Service - Prince William Forest Park.
​
To commemorate the 160th Anniversary of Juneteenth, The Virginia Black Lifestyle Magazine, LLC will evolve with the commemoration to organize its 5th event, "The Virginia Juneteenth Parade!"
​
Thanks to a major sponsorship from Virginia Union University, I am thrilled to share that The 2025 Virginia Juneteenth Parade will take place on the historic campus on June 19th, 2025 at 11am!
​
We will be amplifying the narrative of Mary Lumpkin, GOD's Half Acre, and the legacy of Virginia Union University!"
We welcome community groups to register to march in the parade and celebrate FREEDOM on the tenth anniversary of the Sesquicentennial of Juneteenth!
​
Here are links to information for the parade:
If your organization is interested in becoming a sponsor, please send an email to: TheVirginiaJuneteenthParade@gmail.com

Sincerely,
Cydny A. Neville
