Juneteenth will be celebrated on Friday, June 19, 2026, marking the day when the last enslaved individuals in the U.S. learned of their freedom. This federal holiday, established in 2021, has roots in Galveston, Texas, where Union General Gordon Granger announced the end of slavery in 1865. Celebrations include parades, festivals, and concerts. On this day, U.S. Postal Service offices will be closed, while UPS and FedEx will operate normally. Most banks and federal offices, including the DMV and Social Security Administration, will also be closed, but many private businesses will remain open to honor the holiday.
