What are the federal holidays in 2027? New Year's Day (Friday, January 1), Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Monday, January 18), Presidents Day (Monday, February 15), Memorial Day (Monday, May 31), Juneteenth (Saturday, June 19), Independence Day (Sunday, July 4), Labor Day (Monday, September 6), Columbus Day (Monday, October 11), Veterans Day (Thursday, November 11), Thanksgiving (Thursday, November 25) and Christmas Day (Saturday, December 25). Which federal holidays fall on a weekend in 2027? Juneteenth (Saturday, June 19), Independence Day (Sunday, July 4) and Christmas Day (Saturday, December 25). A Saturday holiday is observed on the Friday before and a Sunday holiday on the Monday after, so the days off are Friday, June 18, Monday, July 5 and Friday, December 24. How many federal holidays are on a weekday in 2027? Eight of the 11. The other 3 are on a weekend, and they move to a weekday for federal employees. Why is New Year's Day 2028 observed in 2027? New Year's Day 2028 is on Saturday, January 1, 2028, and a Saturday holiday is observed on the Friday before. That date is Friday, December 31, 2027, so the federal day off lands in 2027. OPM lists that Friday as the observed day for the holiday. Are banks closed on the observed day in 2027? Not on a Friday observed for a Saturday holiday. The Federal Reserve Banks stay open on June 18, December 24 and December 31 in 2027, although federal employees are off. They close on the Monday after a Sunday holiday, July 5. Is Presidents Day the same as Washington's Birthday? Yes. The federal law calls the third Monday of February Washington's Birthday, and most people call it Presidents Day. In 2027 it is Monday, February 15. ## Turnover is cheaper to prevent than to calculate.
