Sites that list both the weekend date and its replacement report a higher total than the official calendar does.
Are regional holidays included for United States?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of United States are listed separately on the United States holiday hub, together with the states that observe them.
Do the United States holiday dates change from 2027 to the next year?
Some of them do. 6 of the 11 holidays in 2027 sit on a moving rule (set weekday of the month), so their date has to be recalculated for every year. The rest keep the same calendar date and only change weekday. Moving ones this year include Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 18, 2027, Washington's Birthday on February 15, 2027 and Memorial Day on May 31, 2027, plus 3 more.
How far ahead is the United States calendar actually fixed?
Through 2027. The holidays are set in law rather than announced year by year, so the dates repeat predictably. What can still change is a law amendment, a one-off holiday declared for a national event, and the exact day of any holiday on the Islamic calendar, which is confirmed by moon sighting. This table also applies 1 correction to the underlying open dataset, each checked against the legislation. The full list with sources is on the United States holiday hub.
Which United States holidays are regional, and which move?
The table above is the national calendar for 2027. Some holidays keep the same date every year while others are tied to Easter, to a lunar calendar or to a named weekday, and some parts of the country add their own days off. The United States holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.
