Dates follow 5 U.S.C. 6103. Weekend federal holidays use the OPM observed-day rule (Saturday → Friday, Sunday → Monday) for most Monday–Friday federal schedules. Observed dates are labeled separately from the statutory date.

Holidays observed on a different day in 2027

A Saturday holiday is usually observed on the Friday before, and a Sunday holiday on the Monday after:

Juneteenth: Saturday, June 19, observed Friday, June 18
Independence Day: Sunday, July 4, observed Monday, July 5
Christmas Day: Saturday, December 25, observed Friday, December 24

New Year's Day 2028 falls on Saturday, January 1, so it is observed on Friday, December 31, 2027. That day belongs to the 2028 holiday, not to a twelfth holiday in 2027.

These rules cover the standard Monday–Friday federal schedule. Other federal work schedules, states, schools and private employers may follow different calendars, so check their published schedules.

Print a 2027 calendar with holidays

Every monthly calendar has a Monday-start design with that month's key holidays labeled, and the 2027 yearly calendar includes a design with the federal holidays circled. In the custom calendar on any month, set Holiday marks to Federal to label federal holidays and their observed days (marked “Obs.”), or leave it Off for a plain grid.
