How the holidays work
The United States has 11 federal holidays set by federal law; they apply to federal employees, and states and private employers decide for themselves whether to observe them.
When a federal holiday falls on a Saturday it is observed on the preceding Friday; when it falls on a Sunday, on the following Monday. Days such as Mother’s Day and Halloween are observances, not days off.
Holidays are calculated from current law and announced arrangements and are for reference only; the local government’s announcement is authoritative. Select a date to open it in the calendar.
