Official sources and date status
Recorded confirmation and independent source review are shown separately. An institution-specific notice does not establish closure for every employer or school.
Office arrangements
Federal pay and leave calendar for the usual Monday-Friday schedule. State, local and private-employer arrangements can differ.
Bank arrangements
Bank hours and settlement calendars require the institution's own notice. A public-holiday occurrence does not establish every branch's opening hours.
School arrangements
Check the education authority and school calendar for term dates, vacations and institution-specific closures.
Why it matters
The federal calendar follows OPM for employees on a standard Monday-to-Friday schedule. Saturday holidays generally have a Friday observed date and Sunday holidays a Monday observed date. The original occasion and its observed closure are separate entries. New Year's Day 2028 is observed on 31 December 2027; the closure is therefore shown in the 2027 calendar. Juneteenth and Washington's Birthday use their federal identities. State holidays, school breaks and private-employer closures are not implied.
Travel and planning
Check the actual date, region and confirmation status shown here before arranging travel or leave. Local-only occurrences are not a nationwide closure.
