Youngstown's 2024 weeklong Juneteenth Celebration is hitting its fever pitch with the weekend's cultural festival.
The cultural festival features Youth Day on Saturday and the Youngstown Soul Food Cook-Off on Sunday.
Youth Day features a talent show and a kids' fun area.
Food trucks will line the Huntington Community Alley including Cato's Way, Fresh Out the Kitchen, Bree's Brownie, Lickers BBQ, and Tra's Gourmet Sandwiches.
Sunday's Soul Food Cook-Off is a ticketed event that begins at 5 p.m. A $20.50 voucher gives you five taste tickets and a vote for each category (best dessert, mac n cheese and ribs).
A car show is also planned at the Covelli Centre parking lot.
