South Orange combined the global energy of the FIFA World Cup with the celebration and reflection of Juneteenth on June 19 with an event in Meadlowland Park that included a jumbo LED screen for viewing the U.S. vs. Australia match, followed by Scotland vs. Morocco. The event featured cultural performances, food trucks, a beer garden hosted by the Meadowland Park Conservancy, a community drum circle with Yahaya Kamate, and a free youth soccer clinic led by the Columbia High School Girls Soccer Team and Head Varsity Coach Mateo Green.
