The United States' 2027 federal holiday calendar has Independence Day (4 July) falling on a Sunday — federal workers observe the substitute holiday on Monday 5 July, creating a three-day long weekend for the nation's most celebrated patriotic holiday. Fireworks displays typically take place on Sunday 4 July regardless.
Christmas Day (25 December) falls on a Saturday — federal workers observe the substitute holiday on Friday 24 December. Combined with the weekend, this gives federal workers and many private employees a four-day festive break from Friday 24 to Monday 27 December.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is Monday 18 January. Presidents' Day is Monday 15 February. Memorial Day is Monday 31 May. Labor Day is Monday 6 September. Columbus Day / Indigenous Peoples' Day is Monday 11 October. Veterans Day (11 November) falls on a Thursday — a bridge day opportunity on Friday 12 November. Thanksgiving is Thursday 25 November.
