Is the stock market open on Juneteenth? 2025 holiday schedule

The Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange will be closed Thursday and reopen Friday, June 20. The U.S. bond market will also be closed on June 19, according to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association.

Juneteenth, known as America’s Second Independence Day, has been commemorated as a federally-recognized holiday since 2021, providing millions of Americans with a paid day off and the opportunity to commemorate the end of slavery.

The holiday honors the date when Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas in 1865 with 2,000 Union troops to proclaim that more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state were free – two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863.

After shuttering for Juneteenth, it will be business as usual on Wall Street until early July. The next scheduled stock market closure is on Friday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day.
