Are you ready for Juneteenth? Find out what's open and closed on this special day commemorating the end of slavery.

June 19th marks Juneteenth, a significant federal holiday celebrating the emancipation of the last African American slaves. This year, falling on a Wednesday, Juneteenth is a time for reflection and remembrance. Government offices, including county offices, will be closed to honor this historic milestone. But what about other establishments?

For those wondering about Publix, banks, post offices, UPS, and FedEx, some will be closed on Juneteenth while others may remain open. It's a day to pay tribute to the struggles and achievements of the past, with the stock market also taking a break in observance of this important day.

In Houston and the Historic Triangle, multiple businesses and government agencies will shutter their doors on June 19th in tribute to the Juneteenth holiday. The date signifies the arrival of Union troops in Galveston Bay on June 19th, 1865, a pivotal moment in American history.

As Americans come together to honor Juneteenth, it's essential to recognize the importance of this day in our nation's history. From the closure of stock markets to the observance in various cities, Juneteenth serves as a reminder of the struggles and triumphs that have shaped our society for the better.
