'A family reunion': Indy celebrates Black culture at Juneteenth event despite heat advisory
Indy Juneteenth celebrated Black culture at the Indiana State Fairgrounds on June 21 for its eighth year. While the heat dampened foreheads, it didn't dampen spirits. Guests walked down aisles of vendors, watched community dance performances, grooved to live music and played in the kid's section — which was complete with multiple bounce houses and a rock climbing wall. Organizer Twjonia Webb said the new, spacious venue allowed the event to accomplish more and reach more of Indianapolis. Nearly all guests interviewed referred to Indy Juneteenth as a family reunion. Attendees recognized the event's historical significance without allowing an oppressive history to sour the event's mood. One vendor said Indy Juneteenth is one of the few days she can exist easily and unapologetically as a Black person. Natalie Pipkin owns a mobile bookstore highlighting Black authors. Her modified school bus celebrated its three-year birthday at Indy Juneteenth. "We celebrate Black culture all year," she said. "This is just another day for us to gather." The outdoor celebration coincides with a heat advisory. Indianapolis hit 90 degrees for the first time this year just before 2 p.m., according to the National Weather Service Indianapolis. The city is expected to experience heat indices of up to 103 degrees until June 24. One guest said increased temperatures may have discouraged some people from attending. Organizer James Webb said between 3,000 to 5,000 guests were expected throughout the day. Last year, almost 10,000 visited throughout the day. EMTs proactively checked for anyone with heat-related ailments, ready to usher them to a decked-out first aid tent with iced drinks, electrolyte powder and a reclining chair for those feeling faint.

Preparing for extreme heat this weekend in NE Wisconsin
LITTLE CHUTE, Wis. (WFRV) – Northeast Wisconsinites are preparing for a scorcher of a weekend. With temperatures expected to soar into the mid-90s, many Northeast Wisconsinites will spend the weekend looking for ways to stay cool. For many people, that means heading to a local pool like the one at Doyle Park in Little Chute. 'So I anticipate our attendance will be pretty high; we have extra staff ready to go on call,' said Little Chute Parks, Recreation, and Forestry director John McDonald. Lifeguards remind anybody heading out to the pool this weekend to make sure to bring plenty of sunscreen and to reapply it every couple of hours to avoid sunburn. They also stressed the importance of staying hydrated and making sure to avoid swimming on an empty stomach. 'You should do swim breaks,' McDonald said. You'd be very surprised how much energy you burn going down the slide, diving, swimming and playing with your friends. Before you know it, you're tired and lightheaded.'

He told Local 5 News that people in high-risk categories like elderly folks, young children, and people with pre-existing conditions like emphysema or asthma should avoid spending extended periods outside in the heat this weekend. He also urges people to check on their friends, family, and neighbors who fall into these categories.

Pet experts say that pet owners should avoid walking their animals on concrete or pavement because these surfaces can get very hot, very quickly. 'You'll see them pant a lot more, they might become a little bit more lethargic,' said Corey Viars with the Wisconsin Humane Society of Green Bay and Door County. 'There might be different colors in their mouth, gums or tongue. If you see these signs of heat stroke, call a vet immediately.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
