On Saturday, June 21, Capital Metro will join the Central Texas Juneteenth Committee in its annual Juneteenth celebration.
The Juneteenth Historical Parade, beginning at 10 a.m., will travel along east Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, Chicon, Rosewood and finish at Rosewood Park.
Capital Metro offers various routes with service within blocks of the Juneteenth Celebration, including:
2 Rosewood
6 East 12th
18 MLK, Jr./Enfield
21 Exposition
22 Chicon
320 St. Johns
Riders should take note that routes listed above will be detoured around the parade route on June 21, due to street closures beginning at 7 a.m.
As the Capital Metro railroad tracks bisect Rosewood Park, the agency strongly urges the community to stay off the tracks and only cross at dedicated crossings. MetroRail begins service on Saturday, June 21 at 4 p.m., but festival goers should always expect a train, as freight trains may be in service. MetroRail trains are faster and quieter than freight trains. Learn more about rail safety.
Catch MetroRapid in the parade and also a transit information booth at Rosewood Park.
