Juneteenth 2024: What’s Closed and What’s Open

Published 1 day, 7 hours ago
Description

Juneteenth is here — and it’s officially a federal holiday, meaning the U.S. Postal Service, most banks, and major stock exchanges will be closed. While some grumble about holiday overload, this day celebrates the historic moment 161 years ago when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, finally learned they were free. Thirty states and D.C. also recognize it as a paid holiday, so expect some local offices, libraries, and liquor stores to shut down. Retailers? Mostly open — but always call ahead. No free park entry this year either.
