Is the post office open on Juneteenth?
Mail · Juneteenth
Closed
No — there's no mail delivery on Juneteenth (June 19), and post offices are closed.
Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021, and USPS observes it the way it observes the other ten: delivery stops, retail windows close, and collection boxes wait for the next business day.
June 19 is a fixed date, so it moves around the week and the weekend rule comes up often. When it falls on a Saturday, USPS keeps the holiday on the Saturday — mail runs and post offices are open that Friday. When it falls on a Sunday, the holiday moves to Monday, and Monday is the day without mail.
