Frequently Asked Questions

How many federal holidays are there in 2029?

Eleven. In 2029 they are New Year’s Day, the Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Inauguration Day adds a twelfth paid holiday every fourth January, but only for federal employees in the Washington, DC, area — in this window that is Saturday, January 20, 2029.

Which 2029 federal holidays are observed on a different date?

One of the 11 statutory dates lands on a weekend in 2029, so Veterans Day is observed Monday, November 12. The statutory dates themselves do not change — only the paid day off moves, per 5 U.S.C. 6103(b).

When is Thanksgiving in 2029?

Thanksgiving 2029 is Thursday, November 22, 2029. The holiday is set to the fourth Thursday of November, so the date can fall anywhere from November 22 to November 28; in 2029 it sits toward the early end of that range

Are banks and post offices closed on every 2029 federal holiday?

Federal offices, US Postal Service locations, and Federal Reserve banks close on the 11 federal dates in 2029 (using the observed date when one shifts). Most states mirror the calendar for their own offices; private employers set their own schedules, so a company holiday list can differ.

Which 2029 federal holidays always fall on a Monday?

Five of the 11 always land on a Monday: MLK Day, Washington’s Birthday (Presidents’ Day), Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Columbus Day. In 2029 those Mondays are MLK Day, January 15; Presidents' Day, February 19; Memorial Day, May 28; Labor Day, September 3; Columbus Day, October 8. The Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968 fixed the pattern.
