View Date:2024-12-23 16:13:27
Americans on June 19 are marking the third consecutive year of Juneteenth as a federally recognized holiday. Like on other federal holidays, some services and stores may be closed today to commemorate the holiday.
Whether you need to run to the bank or to the store on Wednesday, it could be helpful to check whether the business will be operating during its normal hours before heading out the door. As a relatively new holiday, some businesses are choosing to mark the event, while others will remain open without changes to their regular schedules.
Juneteenth — also known as Freedom Day, Emancipation Day or America's second Independence Day — commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S. after the Civil War. Even though it wasn't officially added to the national calendar until 2021, many Americans had celebrated it annually for more than a century.
