Pontotoc County Freedom's Eve Ball

Ring in the New Year with Pontotoc County Juneteenth as we observe the 160th Watch Night anniversary commemorating the legalization of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. Join us for cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, music by DJ Que, and a night filled with dancing as we invoke the spirit of our ancestors who kept watch through the night of December 31, 1862 in anticipation of their freedom from enslavement. Primarily reserved as a night of worship, we honor this pivotal moment of Black American history with fellowship and pageantry. Compete for the Couples 2-Step or Singles Line Dance Champion titles while peacocking in your finest digs. Winners for exciting door prizes will be randomly selected throughout the night.
