The Board of County Commissioners of Pasco County is planning to recognize the week of June 13th through June 20th, 2026, as Juneteenth Community Celebration Week. This recognition is a formal step to honor the history, culture, and achievements of the African American community. The Pasco County Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Department has organized a series of community events for this week. These events include activities like Introduction to Pickleball, Community Unity 3 v. 3 Basketball, Family Freedom Bowling, Shuttle and Shine Open Badminton, Beats and Brushes, the 6th Annual Juneteenth Community Celebration, Heritage Movie on the Lawn, and Freedom Glow Volleyball. The goal is to celebrate the end of slavery and foster community spirit through shared activities. This is an early stage in the public process, with the item being planned and recognized. The scope of work involves event planning, coordination, and execution, potentially including site preparation for outdoor events, equipment rental, and staffing for various activities. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in event management, recreation, and related fields may find opportunities by engaging early before specific plans and bids are finalized.
