About Alaska Day 2027
Alaska Day 2027 falls on Monday, October 18. It lands on a Monday, so 2027 brings a three-day weekend from Saturday, October 16.
Alaska Day is an Alaska state holiday on October 18 marking the 1867 transfer of Alaska from Russia to the United States. State offices in Alaska close and state employees get a paid day off; it is not a federal holiday, so mail, banks and federal offices operate normally.
