Summary
This Friday marks 161 years since enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned they were free — a pivotal moment celebrated nationwide on Juneteenth, now a federal holiday. Expect closures: USPS shut down, financial markets closed, and most government offices shuttered — though Amazon, FedEx, and UPS keep running. National parks won’t be free to enter this year (next fee-free day: Fourth of July). Grocers and restaurants stay open, but call ahead. When Juneteenth lands on a Saturday — like in 2027 — disruptions will be minimal. It’s a day to remember, and how we honor it keeps evolving.
