Federal holidays and other holidays
A federal holiday is one of the legal public holidays in 5 U.S.C. 6103(a), and OPM lists them for federal employees. Most other days people ask about, such as Halloween, Black Friday, Christmas Eve, Easter, Jewish holidays and Catholic holy days, are not federal holidays, so federal offices follow their normal schedule on them unless an agency announces otherwise. Check a single day with is today a federal holiday.
What closes on a federal holiday
Other institutions keep their own calendars, so a federal holiday is not always a day everything closes:
- Banks: are banks open today.
- Post Office: is the Post Office open today.
- Stock market: is the stock market open today and stock market holidays.
- Stores and restaurants: store holiday hours.
