Actual Holidays, Observed Dates and Cultural Observances

For fixed-date US federal holidays, a Saturday holiday is ordinarily observed on Friday and a Sunday holiday on Monday for the conventional Monday–Friday schedule. Holidays defined by a Monday or Thursday rule already fall on a weekday. Employer schedules and other workweeks can differ. The holiday table shows both dates and deduplicates closures that share a date.

Mother’s Day is the second Sunday in May and Father’s Day the third Sunday in June under Title 36. Valentine’s Day is February 14, St. Patrick’s Day March 17 and Halloween October 31. These selected US observances are shown separately and do not automatically reduce federal business-day counts.

These lists cover nationwide US federal holidays. New York is the reference clock for today and time tools; it does not turn a federal holiday list into a state, school, bank or employer closure calendar. Enter those closures separately.

Recurring US federal rules use OPM. National observance rules use the US Code; cultural date references use the Library of Congress. Official source links and jurisdiction appear with the relevant dataset. Use Report a Calendar Error to prepare a precise correction with page and date details.
