Cool, crisp temperatures greeted hundreds of participants Friday night for the Juneteenth Repeat celebration at Fountain Park in downtown Rock Hill.

The Juneteenth celebration is annually held in June to commemorate the June 19, 1865, announcement of the abolition of slavery. But organizers postponed this year’s event in Rock Hill because of rain.

Friday night’s celebration featured musical groups, dancers, food trucks and entertainers.
