How US holidays work in 2026
The United States has 11 federal holidays in 2026. On these days federal government offices close, and most banks and post offices close as well. The other 6 dates are widely observed, but they are not days off.
When a federal holiday lands on a weekend, federal employees get a weekday off instead: the Friday before a Saturday holiday, or the Monday after a Sunday one. In 2026 that applies to Independence Day, with Friday, July 3, 2026 off.
8 federal holidays in 2026 create three-day weekends: January 17–19 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, February 14–16 for Presidents' Day, May 23–25 for Memorial Day, June 19–21 for Juneteenth, July 3–5 for Independence Day, September 5–7 for Labor Day, October 10–12 for Columbus Day and December 25–27 for Christmas.
