2026 Federal Holidays

Here is the list of Federal Holidays in 2026, officially established by the United States government. These public holidays are recognized across the country and give federal employees a paid day off. If a federal holiday falls on a Saturday, it is usually observed on the Friday before. If it falls on a Sunday, it is observed on the following Monday. This ensures that employees still receive their day off as scheduled. These holidays reflect important national events and traditions honored throughout the United States.
