City offices closed today for Juneteenth, but trash still runs
City offices are closed today, free shredding runs Saturday morning, and three museums open their doors for the holiday.
City of Deerfield Beach offices are closed Friday, June 19 for Juneteenth, but the day-to-day services most residents count on keep running without interruption. Regular garbage, solid waste, and bulk pickup all stay on their normal schedule, so set your bins out at the curb as you would any other Friday. The one closure to note is the Recycling Drop-Off Center, which is dark for the day. If you're heading outside, the Pier keeps its regular hours, 6 AM to 11 PM. The Peggy Noland Aquatics Complex shifts to holiday hours, open 9 AM to 4 PM, with last entrance at 3:15 PM and the pool cleared at 3:45 PM.
Free shredding for residents Saturday morning
Residents can clear out old files and confidential paperwork at a free shredding event Saturday, June 20 from 8 AM to noon, held at the Bernard Adams Municipal Complex and Recycling Drop-Off Center, 401 SW 4th St. There's a two-box maximum per household, and you'll need proof of residency to take part. On-site shredding is a secure way to get rid of sensitive documents without worrying about what ends up in the recycling bin. With the morning window running until noon, it pairs well with the museum tours and Juneteenth events happening downtown the same day.
Historical Society marks Juneteenth on Saturday
The Deerfield Beach Historical Society hosts its Juneteenth Celebration on Saturday, June 20 from 10 AM to 2 PM, anchored by a presentation from the Museum of Black History Team. The event is part of the city-wide Juneteenth observance and shares the same 10-to-2 window as the morning's open museum tours, so you can take in the presentation and walk the museums in a single trip downtown. It's a fitting follow-up to today's office closure, turning the holiday into something you can actually experience around town.
International Film Night tonight at the Historical Society
The Deerfield Beach Historical Society holds International Film Night tonight, Friday, June 19 from 7 to 9 PM at 84 SE 4th Ave. Admission is $10, and Historical Society members get in free. It lands at the end of the Juneteenth holiday and gives anyone staying close to home an easy two-hour outing downtown. If you're planning to catch Saturday's museum tours too, the Friday screening makes for a natural start to a Historical Society weekend.
Three museums open for tours Saturday
Museum tours run Saturday, June 20 from 10 AM to 2 PM at 380 E Hillsboro Blvd, covering the Historic Butler House, the Museum of Black History, and the Mid-Century Museum & Cultural Center along with its Art Gallery. Three distinct pieces of Deerfield Beach's past sit under one address, so a single morning lets you move from the Historic Butler House to the Museum of Black History to the mid-century collection without leaving the block. The 10 AM to 2 PM window overlaps with the Historical Society's Juneteenth Celebration, making it easy to fold both into one downtown stop. For details or to confirm timing, call 954-429-0378.
Community Appearance Board meets Wednesday
The Community Appearance Board meets Wednesday, June 24 from 6:30 to 9 PM. The board weighs in on the design and appearance of development across the city, the kind of review that shapes how new projects actually look once they're built. If you follow what's going up in your neighborhood, the Wednesday session is a window into those decisions before they're finalized, and it falls a few days after the Juneteenth weekend wraps.
Dive-In Movie next Friday at the pool
Mark next Friday, June 26 for a Dive-In Movie at the Peggy Noland Aquatics Complex, 501 SE 6th Ave. Doors open at 7:30 PM and the night runs to 10 PM with a poolside screening of "The Land of Sometimes." It's the same complex that scales back to holiday hours today, so it's worth noting it shifts into evening event mode by the following Friday. A low-key, in-the-water way to kick off the weekend.
Budget Workshop set for June 30
Looking ahead, the city holds a Budget Workshop on Tuesday, June 30 at 6 PM at the Hillsboro Community Center, 50 Hillsboro Technology Drive. These sessions are where the coming year's spending priorities take shape, and they're open to anyone who wants to hear where their tax dollars are headed before the numbers are locked in. With the 6 PM start at the Hillsboro Community Center, it's an after-work option for residents who want a say in the budget.
