Lowcountry Juneteenth: Inspiration for How to Celebrate Juneteenth at Home

Red velvet cake is a traditional dessert served for Juneteenth and is a staple for many southern celebrations.

Red rice is a requirement for any lowcountry party. I love mine with sausage and pieces of fatback and of course fresh tomato sauce no paste!

Don’t forget your veggies and if fried cabbage and yams are on the menu, this won’t happen.

Turkey wings are a staple lowcountry dish and a perfect option for guests with seafood allergies.

Garlic crab is one of my favorite dishes for any casual party and my local seafood/soulfood restaurant, William’s Seafood, is my favorite place to order them.

This seafood rice is a Lowcountry staple and the pops of red from the shrimp are a perfect homage to traditional Juneteeth foods.

These garlic butter red potatoes are a great side dish for a Juneteenth celebration and a delicious option for your vegetarian guests.
