Utah adds Juneteenth as legal holiday

Beginning January 1, 2027, Utah recognizes Juneteenth National Freedom Day on June 19 as a legal holiday. When June 19 falls on Saturday, Utah observes the holiday on the preceding Friday. When it falls on Sunday, Utah observes it on the following Monday.

Parents alternate Juneteenth visits with children

Beginning January 1, 2027, Utah's default Juneteenth visiting schedule applies when parents cannot agree, covering children through age 18. The noncustodial parent gets Juneteenth in even-numbered years; the custodial parent gets it in odd-numbered years. The usual holiday period runs from June 18 at 7 p.m. to June 20 at 7 p.m. If Father's Day is June 20, the period ends June 20 at 9 a.m. If Father's Day is June 19, it runs from June 19 at 7 p.m. to June 20 at 7 p.m. Shorter holiday visits apply to very young children: two hours under nine months and eight hours from nine to 18 months.
