[ARCHIVED] Juneteenth Holiday

Juneteenth

All City offices are closed on Monday, June 19 for the Juneteenth holiday. The City Wide Community Center, water areas (pools and splash pad) and Beaver Meadow Golf Course are open on Monday.

Juneteenth is a holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. It is also called Emancipation Day or Juneteenth Independence Day. Juneteenth became a state holiday in Texas in 1980, and a number of other states subsequently followed suit. In 2021 Juneteenth was made a federal holiday. The day is also celebrated outside the United States, being used by organizations in a number of countries to recognize the end of slavery and to honor the culture and achievements of African Americans.
