About this countdown
This countdown targets Statehood Day on Friday, August 20, 2027, set by the rule: Third Friday in August. It runs on your device's clock and counts to midnight at the start of the day.
Statehood Day is a state holiday, so the date matters for more than the celebration — government offices close and many employers follow suit. Statehood Day, the third Friday in August, is a Hawaii state holiday marking the islnads' admission as the 50th state in 1959. State and county offices and public schools in Hawaii close, but it is not a federal holiday, so mail, banks and federal offices stay open.
