Enterprise, Ala (WDNews) – The City of Enterprise will close on Thursday, June 19, 2025, in observance of the Juneteenth federal holiday. There will be no garbage collection that day, and “Thursday’s route will be collected on Wednesday, June 18,” according to city officials. No other routes will be affected.
To commemorate Juneteenth, also known as “Emancipation Day,” the annual Juneteenth Parade hosted by Johns Chapel AME Church will take place Saturday, June 14, in downtown Enterprise. The parade will begin at noon at 303 N. Main Street and conclude at 306 S. Main Street.
A portion of Main Street will be closed to traffic beginning at 11 a.m. on parade day. “No Parking” signs will be posted along the route starting Friday, June 13. The city says, “The road is expected to reopen by 1:30 p.m.”
Parade attendees can park at several downtown locations, including:
The lot behind the old Yancey Parker’s building on Easy Street
The lot adjacent to the Coffee County Courthouse on Edwards Street
The First Methodist Church lot on Grubbs Street
Street parking on College and Railroad Streets
The Enterprise City Council approved the parade permit and the associated street closure during its January 21, 2025, meeting.
City Hall will also be closed to the public on Friday, June 20, as staff work to “transition offices during ongoing renovations.” While the building won’t be open to the public, “staff will be on-site and available by phone and email.”
Beginning Monday, June 23, visitors to City Hall are advised to follow posted signs, as both the Water Department and Revenue Department “will have relocated to the permanent locations in the center of the building as part of the renovation project.” Starting July 1, “Municipal Court will resume at Enterprise City Hall, and the newly adopted dress code will be enforced.”
