Summer has its perks, but tossing and turning in a hot bedroom at night isn’t one of them. Fortunately, Walmart has the Aiangu Natural Linen-Cotton 4-Piece Bed Sheets Set on sale for just $80 in full and queen sizes right now, down from $140. The king size is marked down to $96 from $150, while the California king is $96, down from $160. The set comes in five colors, including dark gray, dusty blue, gray, linen, and white.

Each four-piece set includes one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and two pillowcases. The sheets are made from 45% linen and 55% cotton. The fitted sheet has all-around elastic and deep pockets that fit mattresses up to 16 inches thick, which is ideal if you have a taller mattress or use a mattress topper. The sheets are moisture-wicking, wrinkle-resistant, pre-shrunk, stonewashed, and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, which means the fabric has been tested for certain harmful substances.

A 100% cotton sheet set can feel soft and smooth, but it may not have the same breezy texture that makes linen so popular in the summer. Alternatively, a 100% linen set can be breathable and beautiful, though it can cost much more and may feel a bit rougher until it’s been washed a few times. This set is the perfect happy medium, offering both the lightweight feel of linen and the softer touch of cotton.

“They’re incredibly soft, breathable,” one reviewer wrote, adding that the neutral linen color looks “so elegant” and gives their bed a “cozy, hotel-quality feel.” Others described them as “cool and comfortable” and said they “feel really expensive.” Several shoppers also mentioned sleeping better after switching, with one saying they bought pricier linen sheets from boutique stores but found these softer and of better quality.

The sheets are pre-shrunk and stonewashed, so they’re designed to help minimize shrinkage and keep their softer feel after washing. They’re also machine washable and can be tumble-dried on low, so they don’t require a specific care routine. And since the set includes the fitted sheet, flat sheet, and pillowcases, you get all the bedding pieces you need to refresh your bed with a single purchase.

Juneteenth is right around the corner! Also known as "Freedom Day" or "Emancipation Day," this holiday represents a turning point in American history that embraces a commitment to equality for all. It not only honors the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States but also serves as a powerful reminder of the continued struggle for racial equity and social justice.

It's also not a holiday that only select cultures can celebrate. Anyone can participate in Juneteenth, but it's essential to recognize its fundamental principles:

• Democracy—the fundamental right of all individuals to be free.
• Citizenship—the access to basic civil liberties, including the ability to participate in the democratic process.
• Self-determination—a person's ability to have agency over their own life.

So, are you wondering how to celebrate Juneteenth? This celebration of freedom and African American heritage can be observed anywhere, from home to the workplace. Whether you're looking for some ways to break away from your traditional plans or are starting to prepare for next year, our list of ways to commemorate Juneteenth will help you make your celebration one to remember.

When Is Juneteenth?

This year, Juneteenth is recognized on Friday, June 19, 2026.

What Is Juneteenth and Why Do We Celebrate It?

Juneteenth is the day that marks the emancipation of the final group of enslaved African Americans. On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger reached a community in Galveston, Texas. Almost 250,000 enslaved people were unaware of the Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln almost two years earlier in 1863.

The first celebration happened in 1872 when local businesspeople and church members created Emancipation Park. However, the U.S. government didn't recognize Juneteenth until 2021, when acting President Biden signed legislation making it a federal holiday.

How To Celebrate Juneteenth

Let's take a look at thirty ways to celebrate Juneteenth this year.

1. Organize a Cookout

This year, organize a Juneteenth cookout for your friends, family or neighborhood. No Juneteenth cookout would be complete without the traditional "red drink," made from fresh berries, hibiscus or any other red-colored fruit or drink mix. Because red is a significant color to Juneteenth, other red foods like red velvet cake are often found at the menu's center. Barbecue, collard greens, strawberry pie and sweet potato pie are also culinary staples for your cookout.

2. Hold a Neighborhood Block Party

A major principle of Juneteenth is celebrating community and helping the people in it grow and heal. Neighborhood block parties are an excellent way to bring everyone on your street (and those who want to visit) together for fellowship, fun and food. If you can't host a block party in your neighborhood, try to attend a nearby one!

3. Support Black-Owned Businesses

Buying goods and services from Black-owned businesses is a fantastic way to celebrate Juneteenth, but that isn't the only way to show support. You can write a review, recommend companies to others, help promote it on social media, donate to crowdfunding campaigns or simply take the time to understand the business and its impact on the community. 

4. Participate in a Book Club

Are you a part of a book club? If so, pick a book for June that explores themes of emancipation, racial equality, and Black history and culture. Meet up at your favorite coffee shop, sit back and discuss the book of choice.

5. Volunteer at a Social Justice Organization

Contact your local community centers, advocacy groups or historical societies to see if they need volunteers. By doing this, you’re helping to boost the voices of nonprofit organizations that strive toward racial and social justice. Volunteer tasks may include helping serve free meals, fundraising or other community activities. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are also a great place to start if you're having trouble finding somewhere to donate your time.

6. Attend a Film Screening

Although watching TV might not seem like a typical way to celebrate Juneteenth, Juneteenth: A Galveston Story, Two Dollars and a Dream and Metcalfe Park: Black Vote Rising are all examples of documentaries that teach you about Black history and pressing racial justice issues today. Local movie theaters, universities or clubs often host film screenings or movie nights around Juneteenth.

7. Visit a Museum

You can't celebrate Juneteenth without acknowledging history. Educating yourself about Black history and culture is the first step towards becoming an advocate for racial justice. Visit one of these museums to start learning:

• National Museum of African American History & Culture—Washington, D.C.
• California African American Museum—Los Angeles, CA
• Charles Wright Museum of African-American History—Detroit, MI
• Juneteenth Museum—Forth Worth, TX

8. Read Literature From Black Writers

Pick up a book by a Black author this Juneteenth to learn more about African-American history and culture. Here are some of our favorites:

• Beloved by Toni Morrison
• Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
• Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave by Frederick Douglass
• We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy by Ta-Nehisi Coates

9. Speak to Your Local Officials About Racial Justice

While federal legislature recognizes Juneteenth as a holiday, some states still don't offer it as a paid holiday for government employees. If you're in one of these states, call or email your local elected officials to advocate for policies promoting equality and raising awareness about inclusivity’s importance.

10. Eat at Black-Owned Restaurants

Spend your mealtimes and money supporting Black-owned businesses in your community this Juneteenth. Apps like EatOkra or directory sites like The Internationalist are trusted sources for finding Black-owned restaurants, bakeries and other eateries across the county.

11. Attend a Storytelling Event

Storytelling is central to African-American culture and has been for hundreds of years. During slavery, enslaved people weren't permitted to read or write, so they relied on telling stories to pass down intergenerational wisdom and preserve cultural heritage. Attending one of these events today is a wonderful way to acknowledge traditions for Juneteenth.

12. Host a Party

Can't find a Juneteenth event in your area? Host a party at your home to celebrate the holiday, embracing the principles of community and fellowship—two things central to the meaning of Juneteenth. Grill out, play games and have fun with your family and friends.

13. Participate in a Community Cleanup

Many towns host city-wide cleanups throughout the year to preserve and beautify community spaces. You'll work with other citizens to remove the trash, replant gardens, repair broken fixtures and more—creating a cleaner and more vibrant community to honor Juneteenth.

14. Support Local Black Artists

Branch out from your typical artistic tastes to support local Black artists in your community. Whether you attend an in-person gallery or purchase a print from a website, you invest your time and money into a good cause. Many artists will release Juneteenth collections or ones that revolve around Black history or culture.

15. Listen to a Juneteenth Playlist

While participating in other Juneteenth festivities, you'll need music in the background. Check out this NPR playlist on Spotify, titled "Songs for Freedom: A Juneteenth Playlist," for ideas.

16. Eat a Juneteenth-Inspired Meal

Plan your Juneteenth meal, or many throughout this month, by researching culturally significant recipes for foods often eaten to celebrate. Throughout history, red has been a central color to Juneteenth meals because it symbolizes the blood shed by enslaved people and is significant in West African culture.

18. Decorate the Conference Room

Start your office Juneteenth celebration by decorating the conference room or another common area. Display the Juneteenth flag, use traditional colors (red, white and blue), and hang posters and art that reflect the spirit of liberation and equality.

19. Have a Guest Speaker

Contact your local NAACP, university, or social justice organizations to recruit a guest speaker for your Juneteenth celebration. They can speak on Black history, culture and the importance of Juneteenth and racial justice.

20. Encourage Employers To Review DEI Policies

All workplaces should have some form of diversity, equity and inclusion policy, but that doesn't mean there isn’t always room for improvement. Work with other employees to create DEI committees or focus groups on implementing programs, training or new policies and speak with your company's leadership about your findings.

21. Host a Lunch and Learn

Want to celebrate Juneteenth but don't have a lot of time during the work day? Host a lunch and learn where you and your coworkers listen to a guest speaker, watch a documentary or have an educational discussion about racial equality and DEI.

22. Mark Juneteenth as a Paid Day Off

Juneteenth is a federally recognized holiday, but not all employers offer it as a paid day off. Add this Juneteenth to your holiday calendar so your employees can celebrate accordingly.

23. Create a Social Media Campaign

Instead of making a one-off "Happy Juneteenth" post on your social media platforms, create a week or month-long campaign filled with educational content. Have employees speak about what Juneteenth means to them, post fun Juneteenth facts and talk about how your company is celebrating.

24. Stock the Waiting Room or Break Room With Juneteenth-Themed Snacks and Drinks

Keep the break room stocked with traditional Juneteenth snacks and drinks like red velvet cake and strawberry soda. Let your clients, customers or patients join in on the fun by putting refreshments in your front lobby or waiting room.

25. Host a Donation Campaign

Support your community by hosting a donation drive for a nonprofit organization focusing on racial equality and social justice. Always contact the organization before collecting monetary donations or supplies to ensure you get them what they need.

26. Start an Office-Wide Book Club

Not only do book clubs give you a better chance to mingle with others, but they're also a fantastic way to learn about Black history. Have an office-wide vote on a book, hosting a meeting around Juneteenth to discuss.

27. Organize Virtual Juneteenth Activities

Do you work on a remote team? No problem! Organize virtual activities like a trivia night for your team to enjoy. Team-building activities or training centered on DEI principles and cultural competence are also excellent options.

28. Cater Lunch From a Black-Owned Local Restaurant

Support local Black-owned restaurants by catering lunch from them throughout the month. Even better, have a Juneteenth party where everyone brings a dish from their favorite local Black-owned business.

29. Distribute Educational Materials

If hosting a book club or Lunch and Learn isn't on your schedule, provide employees with educational information on Juneteenth. Feature facts in your company newsletter, have printed-out materials in the break room or purchase a book for all the staff to read!

30. Make DEI a Year-Round Commitment

Even though celebrating Juneteenth is an opportunity to learn and reflect on your business's current DEI efforts, it shouldn't end on June 19. Make DEI a constant commitment, incorporating policy change and programming into your calendar all year long.

Food Network is taking one of its most popular competition franchises on the road this summer.

Ahead of the return of The Great Food Truck Race, the network has partnered with Graza to launch The Great Food Truck Tour, a six-city event that will bring a custom food truck and special menu items to fans across the country.

The tour kicks off June 23 in New York City before making stops in Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Nashville through July 19.

According to the announcement, guests will be able to sample a menu created by Food Network featuring sliders and other food truck favorites designed to showcase Graza's new mayo line.

Graza's new Mayo, the brand's first-ever foray into mayonnaise.

Food Network

The summer tour arrives just days before the return of The Great Food Truck Race, which is set to premiere its 19th season on July 26.

Hosted by Tyler Florence, the new season will feature eight competing teams featuring both savory and sweet food trucks. The competitors will begin their journey in Nashville before traveling through the Great Smoky Mountains, tackling weekly challenges designed to test not only their cooking skills but also their marketing and sales abilities.

This season also introduces a new elimination twist. Rather than sending one team home immediately, the bottom two trucks each week will face off in a "taste redemption battle" to determine who stays in the competition and who heads home.

The season will conclude at Churchill Downs in Louisville, where one team will win the $50,000 grand prize.

The Pioneer Woman star Ree Drummond is speaking out about her son-in-law's medical diagnosis, sharing details about the difficult health journey her family is currently facing.

Mauricio Scott, husband of Drummond's oldest daughter Alex, was recently diagnosed with Alpha-Gal Syndrome. The medical condition hails from a tick bite.

In an essay for her Pioneer Woman website, Drummond explained what Alpha-Gal Syndrome is and what is being done to help Scott. She also shared new details about the lifestyle changes and ongoing support he will need in managing the condition.

Drummond wrote, "Mauricio, my son-in-law and Alex’s husband, was just diagnosed with Alpha-Gal syndrome, which is an increasingly common allergy that can develop after a tick bite. I have heard about Alpha-Gal over the past couple of years, but like many things you hear about in passing, I haven't given it much thought except that distant sense that it's definitely not something anyone in my world would want to be afflicted with."

Scott reportedly was bitten by a tick on the Drummond ranch. This is a common occurrence, so after he found the tick on his body he removed it.

"The good news is that Alpha-Gal is manageable; one just has to be aware of the foods to avoid. The bad news is that the foods Mauricio has to avoid are the ones he loves most in the world," Drummond continued.

View this post on Instagram

The tick that carries the disease is called a lone star tick. It has a white dot on its back.

After returning home from the ranch, Scott went back to work on a Thursday and ate a burger for lunch. He had serious stomach pain thereafter.

Drummond wrote, "Not just a little stomachache, but a burning kind of pain that he didn't recognize. Alex says Mauricio isn’t usually dramatic about things like that, which made it stand out to her even more."

The next day, the couple ate steak tacos for dinner. Scott had the same reaction after the meal.

View this post on Instagram

On Saturday, the couple enjoyed a baby sprinkle for their second child, a boy, given by family and friends. Scott ate brisket and had the same reaction.

It was then that Alex's friend told the couple they sensed red meat was the culprit. Scott avoided the food for a few days and seemed to feel better. A medical test ultimately diagnosed the condition.

Drummond wrote, "We were all immediately bummed for him! There were a lot of 'NO WAYs' and a few four-letter words of disbelief. There’s no other way to say it: Mauricio loves ribs, steaks, burgers, tacos, and all the things one would expect a person in our family to love, so again… we were all so bummed for him."

"Pork is also on the list of meat that trigger the allergy, so bacon, pork ribs, carnitas...all of those faves are out. The allergic reactions can range from stomach pain to hives to severe anaphylaxis, so it's definitely considered a condition to take seriously."

According to the Cleveland Clinic, Alpha-Gal syndrome (AGS) can go away, but it is not guaranteed. For many people, the allergy improves or fully resolves within 1 to 5 years, provided they avoid further tick bites and strict triggers.

If you’ve been spending more time in your yard thanks to the warmer weather, you may have realized you’re not the only occupant of the space. Birds are a constant fixture outdoors, moving through trees and open air as they spread seeds, help control insect populations, and support the balance of local plant life with every pass. 

Attracting more of that movement can be as simple as adding something that makes your home more inviting for them to stop by. This antique-inspired Kimchomerse Hanging Bird Feeder at Amazon offers an easy way to draw in more birds while also adding a decorative touch to trees, porches, or balconies. Right now, it’s also 44% off, dropping from $26 to $14, making it an even more affordable option than usual.

Finished in a copper-toned, hand-painted metal that gives it an aged, antique-inspired look, this hanging feeder has a decorative look but still holds up to outdoor conditions. The overall structure measures 7.5 inches in width, 7.5 inches in depth, and 7.5 inches in height, creating a compact, balanced shape that’s easy to hang in smaller spaces like porches, decks, patios, eaves, shepherd hooks, or trees. A gently sloping roof is positioned above the feeding tray, helping shield seeds from direct sun and rainfall while also giving birds a more sheltered, comfortable spot to feed.

The tray below is equipped with drainage holes that allow excess water to escape, helping keep seed dry and preventing buildup after storms or heavy dew. Inside, a funnel-style seed system gradually refills the tray as food is eaten, maintaining a steady supply. The capacity holds up to two pounds of birdseed, so it shouldn't require frequent refills.

When seed does run low, a flip-top lid makes filling straightforward; just release the latch on the hanging hook and lift to pour seed directly in. The open metal mesh design allows for quick visual checks of remaining food levels from any angle. 

For cleaning, the feeder should be washed occasionally using a mild soap and water solution to remove debris and help maintain both its appearance and function. After washing, it should be fully rinsed and allowed to dry completely before refilling to help prevent moisture buildup.

Feathered friends and avid birdwatchers alike enjoyed this “easy to clean and refill” feeder, saying that it “absolutely gorgeous” and “beautiful” in their yards. “If you’re looking for the perfect natural look, this bird feeder is the best option! It's durable, functional, and the perfect size to keep squirrels out,” one shopper wrote.

Usually, hotel points are a currency we hoard for a rainy day, slowly building up a balance just to shave a little off the bill of a standard weekend staycation or a routine business trip.

But every once in a while, a travel brand uses its rewards platform to launch an initiative so completely wild that it fundamentally redefines what a loyalty point is actually worth. If you've been tracking all the new experiences and fun events happening this season, you know that Hilton has been running a massive summer-long campaign tied to the nation's milestone 250th anniversary. Now, the final and most high-stakes wave of those viral packages is officially about to hit the digital shelves.

The Hilton Honors America Experiences platform is gearing up to drop its absolute final wave of experience-driven road trips next week.

Hilton

Like the initial rollouts that set travel forums ablaze earlier this summer, every single one of these bucket-list itineraries is priced at a completely mind-boggling, flat rate of just 250 Hilton Honors Points. To put that into perspective, 250 points is significantly less than what you would earn from a single night's stay at an average hotel, making these packages essentially a free gift to whichever incredibly fast-fingered members manage to secure them.

The upcoming final wave features four curated adventures built around the spirit of the ultimate American road trip, complete with a starter kit, gas cards and stays at roadside-favorite Hampton by Hilton properties pre-loaded along the route:

• The “Pursuit of Happiness” Open Road Adventure: Easily the absolute crown jewel of the entire summer campaign, this package hands one lucky winner a 14-day, build-your-own cross-country epic. The experience comes fully outfitted with a brand-new 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee (that you actually get to drive home and keep permanently), a full year of free gas, and $10,000 in GetYourGuide credits to fully customize your daily sightseeing.
• The Countdown to America's 250th Anniversary: An ultra-premium Fourth of July weekend package right in the heart of New York City. The itinerary features a three-night stay at the trendy, wellness-focused Tempo by Hilton Times Square, paired with exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime access to witness the first-ever summer Times Square Ball Drop to ring in the historic milestone.
• The California Coast Road Trip: A classic, stunning drive following a highly curated route along the legendary Pacific Coast Highway. The trip features a scenic progression through iconic California beach towns, ocean-view Hampton stays, and $5,000 in GetYourGuide credits to fill your days with private wine tastings, surf lessons, or coastal tours.
• A VIP Weekend at Sierra Nevada’s Hazy Hideaway: Built specifically for music and craft beer enthusiasts, this package unlocks a full two-day VIP festival experience hosted right at the legendary Sierra Nevada brewery, complete with live performances, local artisan makers, and exclusive private balcony viewing access.

By anchoring the campaign with Hampton by Hilton—a brand that boasts 2,400 domestic locations, placing the nearest hotel an average of just 30 minutes away on any major U.S. highway—they are perfectly capturing that nostalgic, spontaneous urge to simply pile into a car and see where the highway takes you.

The catch, of course, is that these packages are being offered on a strict first-come, first-served basis, and they're virtually guaranteed to sell out within fractions of a second the moment the digital gate drops next week. If you want a real, fighting chance at turning 250 spare points into a free Jeep, a private Times Square party, or a California coastal run, you’ll want to log into the Hilton Honors platform daily, enable your app’s push notifications and have your fingers poised and ready for the final countdown.
