Our annual Juneteenth celebration is back once again! Come celebrate what Juneteenth means to us and enjoy our art gallery showing off the amazing creativity of our Golden Triangle citizens! Much thanks to the Starkville Area Arts Council!

Put on your best witch or wizard attire, grab your ride of choice: broom, bike, wheelchair, scooter, or just use your feet, and ride out with the J.L. King Community Center.

This event fully supports the efforts of the J.L. King Community Center, a non-profit organization, that provides FREE after school programs, meals, educational courses and much more to the Starkville community. Located on on the west of Starkville, right next to the Splash Pad in J.L. King Senior Memorial Park.

This event will take place in downtown Starkville. The “ride” will begin at Fire Station Park. Click the button below for event details and registration.

Join us at the J.L. King Center with Junior Auxiliary of Starkville for the Reading Railroad.

This annual FREE event is open to the public and provides hands-on exposure to children (and their families) to chalk, beads, clay, paint, drums, drawing, writing, theatre, dance, and more. Expose youth to creative exploration as a core competency skill and build well-rounded thinkers.
