When Is Juneteenth Celebrated Each Year
Juneteenth is observed every year on June 19. It commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. The date does not change, so it always falls on the same calendar day.
Why the Date Is Fixed
June 19 marks the day in 1865 when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced freedom for enslaved people. Because it is a historical anniversary, the date remains constant each year.
