Book off 13 Feb 2026 for 4 days off.
What the day is for
A recognised observance rather than a day off work. It applies only in certain regions rather than nationwide.
Do shops and banks close?
Business as usual, though there may be local events or ceremonies.
Getting around
Normal services.
These notes come from the day's official classification rather than country-specific reporting, so treat them as general guidance for United States.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
