The Santa Maria-Lompoc NAACP and C4 Lompoc hosted a Juneteenth celebration in Lompoc on Saturday.
The event consisted of live entertainment, food, vendors, family-friendly activities, and information from local non-profits.
"All the responses [have] been so enthusiastic. Everybody's been really supportive of all the other different organizations, all the different businesses and all these different activities," said Darrell McNeill of the Santa Barbara Black Culture House, which had a table at the event.
This year's keynote speaker was Guadalupe Police Chief Michael Cash.
Correction: The original version of this article incorrectly stated that the event was hosted by Santa Barbara Black Culture House and misidentified the keynote speaker.
