Using this calendar

This broad USA public-holiday overview lists 11 confirmed federal closure dates for 2027. Use the federal holiday calendar for legal and observed dates, the observed-date comparison, and current federal-office closure guidance. State holidays are not included because no reviewed state dataset is stored. Bank closures can differ by institution and Federal Reserve schedule; national and religious observances are not automatically days off.

Public holiday information

Federal holidays are legal public holidays named in 5 U.S.C. §6103. The statutory calendar date and an observed weekday closure are distinct when a fixed-date holiday falls on a weekend.

Offices

Federal offices generally follow the OPM holiday schedule, subject to employee work schedules and agency rules. Federal status does not require private employers or state and local governments to close.

Banks

A federal holiday is not a universal U.S. bank-closing rule. Many institutions follow Federal Reserve or federal schedules, but Federal Reserve Banks can remain open on the Friday before a Saturday holiday even when the Board of Governors is closed. Check the bank and payment-service calendar.

Schools

School calendars are set by state, district, and school authorities. This federal calendar does not certify school closures or state holidays.

Practical planning

Use the calendar and dated regional exceptions before booking. Long-weekend results use stored applicable occurrences; provisional dates and local exceptions require the stated qualification.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 2027 calendar show?

It shows the 11 confirmed federal closure dates in the official OPM 2027 schedule for most Monday-to-Friday federal employees.

What is an observed federal holiday?

It is the weekday used for federal pay and leave when a fixed-date holiday falls on a weekend. The legal anniversary and observed closure are not two separate federal holiday entitlements.

Are state offices, banks, and private businesses always closed?

No. Their calendars and operating rules can differ, so the responsible authority or institution must be checked.
