What stands out in 2027
3 holidays fall on a weekend in 2027, so they are observed on a different day:
- Juneteenth falls on Saturday, June 19, 2027, so the day off is Friday, June 18.
- Independence Day falls on Sunday, July 4, 2027, so the day off is Monday, July 5.
- Christmas Day falls on Saturday, December 25, 2027, so the day off is Friday, December 24.
New Year's Day 2028 falls on a Saturday, so it is observed on Friday, December 31, 2027. That gives federal employees 12 holiday days off in 2027 instead of the usual 11.
6 of the holiday days off in 2027 fall on a Monday, giving a three-day weekend. Counting Monday to Friday and leaving out the observed holidays, 2027 has 249 federal business days.
