United States Holidays 2024 2.24.2

This app provides a comprehensive national calendar listing all 2024 federal and state holidays in the United States. Please note that dates are subject to official modifications, so we recommend checking regularly for updates.

Federal holidays in the United States are public holidays officially recognized by the federal government, and apply to federal employees. State holidays are public holidays recognized by individual states, often overlapping with federal holidays.

With the exceptions of Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day, federal holidays are typically observed on Mondays. This practice aligns with the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, designed to create three-day weekends for federal employees by moving holidays to Mondays when feasible.

While states are not obliged to observe federal holidays, they have the flexibility to opt out of these observances and can establish their own state holidays as desired.

Although there are no federally mandated holidays in the United States at present, most states choose to honor federal holidays. Some states may celebrate variations or related holidays that differ slightly from the federally designated ones.
