About this calendar
In 2026, United States observes 13 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with Christmas Day on . These are official days on which government offices, banks, schools, and most businesses are closed.
Holidays here include a mix of fixed dates (such as New Year's Day and national independence days) and variable dates (such as religious holidays that follow lunar or ecclesiastical calendars). Variable holidays may shift by 1–2 days from year to year.
The US federal rule is simple: a holiday on Saturday is observed the Friday before, and one on Sunday moves to Monday. Private employers are not required to follow federal holidays at all, so observance varies more than most countries.
