What this calendar covers
This page is centered on federal holiday and service-closure source review. OPM is the primary source for the federal employee holiday calendar. USPS and Federal Reserve pages are used only for their own service or system schedules.
Important boundaries
- State offices, schools, courts, private employers, and local services can use different schedules.
- USPS location hours and service alerts should be checked through USPS before a time-sensitive visit.
- The Federal Reserve K.8 schedule is not a guarantee of every private bank’s branch hours.
- Emergency, weather, disaster, and local closure notices can override ordinary schedule expectations.

Calendar context
Why this calendar uses more than one source
The 2026 holiday calendar combines source roles instead of treating one list as universal. OPM is the main source for federal employee holidays, USPS is the source for Postal Service holiday dates and service-check paths, and Federal Reserve K.8 is the source for Federal Reserve holiday schedules.
This source separation prevents overclaiming. A federal holiday can close many government offices, but it does not automatically tell you the hours of a private bank, school, state office, local agency, post office counter, collection box, or customer-service line.
How to use the calendar
- Federal office planning: use OPM and, when needed, the specific agency’s local notice.
- USPS planning: use the USPS holiday page first, then USPS Locations, service alerts, or holiday service schedule links for local details.
- Banking-calendar planning: use Federal Reserve K.8 for Federal Reserve context, then confirm the private bank or credit union directly.
- Saturday and Sunday holidays: read the source-specific note because OPM, USPS, and Federal Reserve wording can differ.
What the calendar does not promise
It does not guarantee a specific lobby, route, branch, office, call center, ATM, online system, or local service schedule. Treat it as the national source map, then verify the local service that affects your errand.
