City Government Closed: Juneteenth

All City of Falls Church government offices and services will be closed in observation of Juneteenth, including City Hall, Mary Riley Styles Public Library, and the Community Center.Juneteenth recognizes the day (June 19, 1865) the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas were told about the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863), and that all Black people were free from the bondage of slavery, including the 250,000 in Texas who were kept unaware by their enslavers.

In modern times, Juneteenth has become a holiday celebrating freedom, resiliency, and African American history and culture.

The City of Falls Church declared Juneteenth a holiday for the first time in 2020, following Virginia's declaration that a state holiday be observed, now a permanent statewide holiday. City-wide (Everywhere, Falls Church), all day.
