What’s closed on Juneteenth 2026?

(NEXSTAR) – Friday will mark 161 years since slaves in Galveston, Texas, learned they were free, more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

Juneteenth, created to celebrate that pivotal day, was established as a federal holiday by former President Biden in 2021.

While President Trump said last Juneteenth that the U.S. is losing money to “too many non-working holidays in America,” June 19 remains a federal holiday. That means several services will be closed on Friday.

For example, you won’t be receiving any mail, and your local post office won’t be open. Juneteenth is one of 11 holidays the U.S. Postal Service observes in 2026. Unlike other holidays, Amazon, FedEx, and UPS will observe normal business hours........
