Reading this list
Federal holidays apply across the United States for federal employees and federal offices; nearly every state adopts most of them for its own employees. State holidays are days off only in the states shown. Observances are widely celebrated but are not public holidays — offices, banks and schools keep normal hours. Where a holiday falls on a weekend the observed (in-lieu) date is shown beneath the actual date.
Looking for one state? Every state has its own page — for example Texas holidays 2027, California holidays 2027 and New York holidays 2027 — with federal, state-only and optional days separated. See the state index.

Are federal holidays the same as state holidays?
No. Federal holidays apply to federal employees and federal offices; each state sets its own list for state employees and courts. Most states adopt most federal holidays, but some skip Columbus Day or Presidents' Day and many add their own days. Check the state pages for the exact list.
Do private employers have to give federal holidays off?
No federal law requires private employers to close or to pay premium wages on federal holidays. Many do close on the six major holidays (New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas), but it is a matter of company policy or a union contract.
