It was more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed. Sometimes called Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, it recognizes the end of slavery.

As you're planning which Juneteenth events to attend, note that the below companies and services will not be open on Thursday, June 19. The U.S. Postal Service does not offer regular delivery on Juneteenth. However, Holiday Premium Priority Mail Express and Sunday/Holiday same-day delivery remain available. UPS and FedEx operate normally on the holiday, according to their websites. As it's a federal holiday, expect most government services, including courts, to be closed. Emergency services remain available. In addition to being a federal holiday, Juneteenth is recognized as a state holiday as well. That means public schools are closed. Most schools are out for the summer, but other services offered by schools, such as summer programs, athletics, and meetings, may not take place.
