City Hall will be closed on Wednesday, June 19 in observance of Juneteenth.  If you need help with a time-sensitive matter, please refer to our after-hours phone numbers at vv.city/ReportaProblem.

Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when federal troops arrived in Galveston, TX to ensure enslaved people knew they were free after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed two years prior. 

Join us as we celebrate this holiday that commemorates the official end of slavery in the United States.
