How observed holidays work
- Saturday holiday → the Friday before is the day off for most federal employees.
- Sunday holiday → the Monday after is the day off.
- New Year's Day 2028 is a Saturday, so its observed day is Friday, Dec 31, 2027. That is why the 2027 calendar shows 12 federal days off for 11 holidays.
- Banks follow the Federal Reserve schedule instead: for a Saturday holiday they stay open on Friday; for a Sunday holiday they close on Monday.
Printing tips
- Add any state, company or school days off (optional). They print in the same black-and-white style.
- Press “Print year on 1 page” for a portrait Letter sheet, or “Print 12 monthly pages” for landscape pages with room to write.
- In the print window choose your printer, or “Save as PDF”. Turn off headers and footers for a cleaner page.
What this page does not cover
State holidays, school calendars and religious observances are not included because they differ by state and district. Inauguration Day is a holiday only for federal employees in the Washington, DC area and only every four years; it is not in this list.

Frequently asked questions
How many federal holidays are there in 2027?
11. Federal workers also get Friday, Dec 31, 2027 off, because it is the observed day for New Year's Day 2028 (a Saturday).
Which 2027 holidays are observed on a different day?
Juneteenth National Independence Day: Saturday, June 19 → Friday, June 18; Independence Day: Sunday, July 4 → Monday, July 5; Christmas Day: Saturday, December 25 → Friday, December 24; New Year's Day 2028 (observed): Saturday, January 1, 2028 → Friday, December 31.
Are banks closed on the observed Friday?
Usually not. The Federal Reserve stays open on the Friday before a Saturday holiday (in 2027: Friday June 18, December 24 and December 31), but closes the Monday after a Sunday holiday (Monday July 5). Check your own bank's hours.
Do private employers have to give these days off?
The federal holiday law sets days off for federal employees. The U.S. Department of Labor notes that federal wage law does not require pay for holidays not worked, so private employers set their own holiday list. Check your handbook or HR.
Is Election Day or Inauguration Day a federal holiday in 2027?
Election Day is not a federal holiday. Inauguration Day is a day off only for federal employees in the Washington, DC area, every four years (next on January 20, 2029).
Can I print it without uploading anything?
Yes. The calendar is built in your browser and printed with your browser’s print window (US Letter, Sunday start, black and white). Nothing you add is stored or sent anywhere.
