The 2026 Opal’s Walk for Freedom series in honor of Ms. Opal's milestone birthday AND America's 250th Anniversary offers unity-focused experiences that highlight civic pride, historical awareness, and cross-cultural celebration.

This Juneteenth, Ms. Opal and Dione invite everyone across the country to walk 2.5 miles with them in person or virtually because freedom is a shared value worth celebrating.

Now a national holiday, Juneteenth celebrates the freedom gained when slavery was abolished all across the country. Unity Unlimited and Ms. Opal continue her walks to educate the nation on the importance of understanding that freedom is for everyone.

Join a team or create a team by registering today and starting a team. Then ask your family and friends to join you in Fort Worth's renown cultural district for a day of unity and fun.

We have a limited number of seats for our senior citizens and mobility challenged. Be sure to register to ride the shuttles that will follow the walkers.

Finally, you may not want to walk but still want to enjoy the day of freedom with great live music and community engagement. Purchase a spectator ticket and T-shirt separately and join in the fun on the 50-yard line of Farrington Field.

The walk map is below, and most events will be centered around Farrington Field – both before and after the walk.  However, Montgomery Street and Lancaster Ave. will be completely closed for the walk.
