For federal employees, a holiday that falls on a Saturday is observed on the Friday before, and one that falls on a Sunday is observed on the Monday after. Many private employers follow the same rule, but they are not required to.
The USPS and most banks (Federal Reserve holidays) close on the federal holidays. Stock markets follow their own calendar: for example, they close on Good Friday but open on Columbus Day and Veterans Day.
No. The list shows the federal holidays for 2026 only. States add their own days, such as Cesar Chavez Day or Patriots' Day, so check your state's calendar as well.
