Juneteenth 2022: What’s open, closed for the holiday?

Banks, mail, libraries, more

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Juneteenth, which is June 19, is the traditional commemoration date of the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States.

On June 17, 2021, President Joe Biden signed legislation making it a U.S. federal holiday. This year, June 19 falls on a Sunday, so the federal holiday will be observed on Monday, June 20.

Last year, members of the Jacksonville City Council voted Tuesday 16-2 in favor of making Juneteenth a paid holiday for city workers. Many state and local federal offices will be closed -- along with banks and other businesses.
