As the city gears up for the Independence Day celebrations, Apache Junction residents can expect some tweaks to the usual schedule of city facilities. According to an announcement made on Apache Junction's official website, offices and centers throughout the city will be observing the holiday, leading to closures and altered availability on July 3 and July 4.
Easing into the long weekend, City Administrative Offices are taking a break from routine, closing on both July 3 and 4. On these days, residents looking to sort out administrative affairs will have to wait out the holiday. For those with exigencies, the Police Department remains an ever-available bastion, with emergency and non-emergency services undisturbed by the festivities.
Book enthusiasts can squeeze in a little more reading time before the fourth, as the Apache Junction Public Library will turn its 'Closed' sign only for July 4, remaining open the day before. Meanwhile, the Superstition Shadows Aquatic Center will serve as an oasis in the summer heat, open for a dip on July 3 and on Independence Day from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Parents and the youth needing an outlet before the fireworks, take note: the Multi-Generational Center will be available on July 3 before pausing its operations the following day for the holiday. And as the day wanes, and the sky is ready to be painted with the colors of patriotism, the community is invited to "join us for Fourth of July festivities at Superstition Shadows Park," offering a chance for revelry and communal pride.
