Juneteenth 2024 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 Wednesday, June 19.

Juneteenth is a portmanteau word for June and nineteenth and commemorates the date that the Emancipation Proclamation was enforced in Galveston, TX, eliminating slavery completely in 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.

To see what activites are planned for the celebration in the Charleston area, click here.

The local holiday hours for Juneteenth 2024 are as follows:

Easter Weekend Holiday Hours

Hippity-hop! Are you wondering why Easter is so early this year? Easter is always on a Sunday, but the exact date varies depending on the moon’s position in the early spring. Based on the lunar cycles, Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday following the full moon that occurs on or after the March or spring equinox. This year the equinox occurred on March 19 and the full moon on Monday, March 25, so Easter is on Sunday, March 31. Happy Easter!

HOLIDAY HOURS

Good Friday, March 29, Easter Sunday, March 31 and Easter Monday, April 1 are not federal holidays. All federal holidays are non-religious (except Christmas Day). Thus the Post Office, federal buildings, and most banks will be open on Friday and Monday. It is interesting to note that The New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading on Good Friday, March 29.

In addition, Easter is not a state holiday in South Carolina.

SIPOA and Town Offices will be open as usual.

The Lake House will be open all weekend, including Monday, with normal hours.
