How Federal Holidays Work in the US
Federal holidays are set by the US Congress and apply to federal government offices, banks, and the postal service. Private employers are not legally required to close, though most schools and many businesses follow the same schedule. Each US state can also add its own state-specific holidays or substitute a federal one — Columbus Day is the most commonly replaced, often swapped for Indigenous Peoples’ Day at the state level.

Juneteenth and Christmas both fall on a Saturday in 2027, and Independence Day falls on a Sunday. Under the federal rule for holidays landing on a weekend (5 U.S.C. § 6103), federal employees typically observe a Saturday holiday on the preceding Friday, and a Sunday holiday on the following Monday. This rule applies to federal employees; private-sector observance can vary by employer.
Holiday Spotlight: Juneteenth and Presidents’ Day
Juneteenth, observed June 19, marks the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas were informed of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It became the newest US federal holiday in 2021. Presidents’ Day, observed the third Monday of February, originated as a celebration of George Washington’s birthday and now broadly honors all US presidents.
