If you’re out and about this Thursday, you might notice that post offices, banks and some city and state offices are closed.

That’s because it’s Juneteenth, an annual commemoration of the end of slavery.

President Joe Biden signed a bill in 2021 recognizing June 19 as a federal holiday.

Amid the festivities and events happening in Baltimore, here’s a look at what’s open and what’s closed on Thursday.
