Published on June 17, 2025

In observance of Juneteenth, Los Alamos County government offices will join other federal, state, and local governments and close on Thursday, June 19. 

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, commemorates the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States. Recognizing and observing this holiday provides an important opportunity for all to celebrate the contributions of African Americans throughout our history and reflect on the meaning of freedom.
