Frequently asked questions

What is the next federal holiday?

Thanksgiving, on Thursday, November 26, 2026 — 11 days from today.

How many holidays are there in 2026?

We list 67 holidays and observances for 2026, of which 11 are US federal holidays. The full table, with weekdays and observed dates, is on the 2026 holidays page.

Why do some holidays change date every year?

Many are tied to a weekday rather than a date — Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday of November, Labor Day the first Monday of September. Easter follows the church's lunar reckoning, and Jewish, Islamic, Chinese and Hindu festivals follow their own calendars, so their Gregorian dates move.
