United States records 17 holidays in 2026. 10 are nationwide public holidays and 6 apply only in certain regions. Not one public holiday lands on a weekend in 2026 — every single one falls on a working day. New Year's Day (1 Jan 2026) and Thanksgiving Day (26 Nov 2026) sit on a Tuesday or Thursday: book the Fridays and each becomes a four-day break. The busiest month is Jan, with 2 of them. The longest run without one is 98 days, between 16 Feb 2026 and 25 May 2026. The next is Veterans Day on 11 Nov 2026.
