2027 US Federal Holidays & Observances
Last reviewed on May 4, 2026
2027 holidays at a glance: there are 11 US federal holidays in 2027, plus the observances most people plan around. This page lists the exact date and day of the week for each one, so you can book vacation, schedule shipments, or work out when federal offices, banks and many businesses will be closed. See also how holidays that fall on a weekend are observed when they land on a Saturday or Sunday.
Five of the 2027 federal holidays are fixed dates that can fall on any weekday — New Year's Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Veterans Day and Christmas Day — while the rest are tied to a weekday rule, such as the third Monday in January for Martin Luther King Jr. Day or the last Monday in May for Memorial Day. That is why the 2027 holiday calendar does not simply repeat 2026. For the days banks and the Federal Reserve close, see 2027 bank holidays; to print the year out, use the printable 2027 calendar.
