HAYS COUNTY — On June 19, 1865, thousands of Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay to announce that the thousands of slaves in the state were free. On the 157th anniversary of their emancipation, the Hays County community continues to honor the holiday.

Hays County first kicked off Juneteenth celebrations during the June 7 commissioners court meeting by declaring June 2022 as a month-long celebration of Juneteenth in the county.
