The city announced the closure late Thursday night.
Congress passed legislation this week that recognized Juneteenth on June 19 as a national holiday a measure that was signed into law Thursday by President Joe Biden.
Juneteenth is an emancipation observance that marks the date that remaining slaves were informed of their freedom, according to a release from the city.
June 19 is Saturday this year, so the city will be closed today. Regular office hours resume Monday, officials said.
