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.
