Celebrating Juneteenth!
 Join us as we commemorate the significance of Juneteenth, a day that holds immense historical importance and celebrates the enduring spirit of resilience.
Juneteenth marks the liberation of African Americans from slavery and symbolizes the triumph of equality and justice. On this special day, let's reflect on our shared history, honor the contributions of Black Americans, and commit to fostering a more inclusive and equitable society.
As the Lake County Clerk's Office, we embrace diversity, equality, and the power of unity. Let's continue the journey towards a future where every voice is heard, every life is valued, and every individual is free to pursue their dreams.
Please be aware that the Lake County Clerk's Office will be close on Monday, June 19th in observance of the Juneteenth holiday. We will resume our regular business hours on Tuesday, June 20th.
This year, the Lake County Clerk' Office is a proud sponsor of the Juneteenth Cookout celebration put together by the The African American Museum at the England Manor! You can visit their website here to see some of the ways to celebrate the beautiful diversity of our community this Juneteenth holiday!
