Description

The second annual Eight Seconds Juneteenth Rodeo was held at Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Sun., June 16, 2024. The sold-out show drew 7,200 attendees and 40 athletes from across the country. Event founder Ivan McClellan says he plans to continue hosting the rodeo in Portland, and possibly expand to additional cities in the future.

Juneteenth, observed annually on June 19, marks the day in 1865 when the last enslaved people in the United States learned they were free — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Long celebrated by Black communities as a day of freedom and reflection, Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021 and was formally recognized by the state of Oregon in 2022.
