Juneteenth 2029 is still ahead. It falls on Tuesday, 19 June 2029, 1,026 days after 28 August 2026. This page is kept whichever side of today the date falls on: the date and the rule behind it are worth looking up either way. For the year after this one see Next Juneteenth, and for the always-current countdown see the next Juneteenth.

The date is 2029-06-19 in ISO form and 6/19/2029 in the US format, it falls in ISO week 25 of 2029, and it is day 170 of 365.
How the date of Juneteenth is decided
Juneteenth National Independence Day is always 19 June. It became a federal holiday in 2021, so it is the newest one and is not yet observed by every employer.
That makes it a fixed date: the same day of the same month every year, so it lands on a different weekday each time. In 2029 it is a Tuesday.
Juneteenth is one of the eleven US federal holidays. Federal offices, banks and the bond market close, and it does not count as a business day in any of the business-day calculators on this site. In 2029 it falls on a Tuesday, a normal working day, so there is no observed-date shift this year. When it lands at a weekend the observance moves to the adjacent Friday or Monday. The observed date is the one our business days calculator skips.

The date does not move, but the weekday does — which is why the same holiday gives a long weekend in some years and not others.
Every convention used above — whether the start date counts, how month ends are clamped, which holidays close an office — is written out on the methodology page, including how we count the 700 working days above.
