Understanding US Holidays
Federal Holidays
Designated by federal law. Federal offices are closed, making this list the national baseline for US public holidays.
Adjusted Dates
When a holiday falls on a weekend, it is observed on a weekday so the federal schedule stays useful for work planning.
Calendar & Planning
Use the calendar to plan long weekends, payroll cutoffs, office closures, and time off around US public holidays in 2026.
FAQ
What is the next US federal holiday?
The next US federal holiday is shown in the Next holiday card at the top of this page. The date is based on the 2026 federal holiday schedule and uses the observed date when a holiday is shifted from a weekend. Use it as the starting point for US public holidays planning.
Is today a US public holiday?
Check today's date against the holiday schedule on this page. If today matches one of the listed observed federal holiday dates, it is a US federal public holiday. State, school, bank, and private business schedules may vary, so use this federal list as the baseline and confirm any local closure rules when planning travel or work.
How do Monday US public holidays work?
Some US public holidays fall on Mondays, including Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Columbus Day. Not every Monday is a holiday, so check the 2026 schedule above for the specific federal date. This helps separate fixed-date holidays from the Monday holidays that create long weekends.
Are there any holidays this weekend?
US federal holidays are usually observed on weekdays. If a holiday falls on Saturday, it may be observed on Friday; if it falls on Sunday, it may be observed on Monday. Use the schedule above to check whether the actual or observed holiday date is near this weekend, and remember that state or employer rules can differ from US public holidays at the federal level.
