The three weekend holidays in 2027
Juneteenth is Saturday, June 19, observed Friday, June 18. Independence Day is Sunday, July 4, observed Monday, July 5. Christmas Day is Saturday, December 25, observed Friday, December 24. Each holiday is counted once in the business-day calculation, using its observed weekday.
December 31 belongs in the 2027 closure count
New Year’s Day 2028 is Saturday, January 1. Its observed federal date is Friday, December 31, 2027. The table includes it as a boundary observation, without treating it as a twelfth annual 2027 holiday.

What this federal list covers
It covers the eleven annual nationwide holidays under 5 U.S.C. 6103 and the conventional Monday–Friday observation rules. State, religious, school, financial-market, and individual employer calendars can add or change closures. The Friday after Thanksgiving is not assumed to be a federal holiday.
Under this model, 261 weekdays minus 12 distinct observed closures leaves 249 business days in 2027.
