The 2026 Emancipation Jubilee marks the 6th year of this revived tradition.

The Black Council of Windsor-Essex is proud to announce the return of the Emancipation Jubilee, a powerful four-day collaborative community celebration commemorating the Slavery Abolition Act of August 1st, 1834, which ended slavery throughout the British Colonies in the Caribbean, South America, and Canada.​
