City of Dallas Department and Facility Holiday Closures

In recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, the City of Dallas will close its offices and facilities on Monday, October 14, 2024. This holiday closure impacts several city departments, with all Dallas Public Libraries remaining closed throughout the day. However, Dallas Animal Services will be open, ensuring that essential animal care services remain available to the community. Residents are advised to take note of these changes and plan their activities accordingly, as regular operating hours will resume on Tuesday, October 15, 2024. The city has provided a comprehensive list of all closures to help residents navigate their needs during this holiday.

This initiative reflects the city's commitment to honoring cultural observances while maintaining essential services. Information on alternative resources available during the closure is also included in the announcement. As Indigenous Peoples’ Day approaches, the city encourages community members to engage in activities that celebrate and acknowledge the contributions of Indigenous populations.
