Juneteenth 2024: What’s Closed and What’s Open
Description
This Friday marks 161 years since enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned they were free — a moment that birthed Juneteenth, now a federal holiday. Expect postal closures, bank shutdowns, and stock market pauses, while major delivery services and most retailers stay open. Over 30 states honor it as a paid day off, impacting local services like libraries and DMVs. And while national parks won’t offer free entry this year, the spirit of freedom still echoes across the nation.
