As part of the event, officials say a mini-parade will move across the bridge, but no further details were provided.
The 143-year-old bridge underwent a nine-month restoration after a structural evaluation in 2013 found corrosion and other structural deficiencies.
The work is expected to add 75 years or more to the bridge’s lifespan.
