Holidays by month

Before you rely on these dates

This page is a planning aid, not an official closure notice. Federal holidays govern federal offices; private employers, schools, banks, and local governments set their own schedules and many states add holidays of their own. Confirm anything with a deadline attached directly with the organization involved.
