Juneteenth 2025 Holiday Hours

Juneteenth National Independence Day is a US federal holiday and is the first new federal holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was designated in 1983. This means most banks and federal offices will be closed on Thursday, June 19, 2025.

Juneteenth is a portmanteau word formed from “June” and “nineteenth” and commemorates the date when the Emancipation Proclamation was enforced in Galveston, TX, effectively abolishing slavery throughout the United States. Galveston was one of the most remote regions that still had slaves; thus, this enforcement freed the remaining enslaved peoples. Texas was the first state to declare Juneteenth a state holiday in 1980.
