See also: Holidays of the United States Unlike countries where holidays are required by law, there are no national holidays in the United States. However, the United States Congress has created federal holidays for employees of the United States Government. Most states have declared state holidays to coincide with these federal holidays. In spite of numerous attempts, the United States has never established true national holidays. (However, most labor contracts provide for extra pay or other special consideration for those required to work on officially-recognized holidays.) The holidays, and the days on which they are normally celebrated, are: New Year's Day (January 1)Martin Luther King Day (third Monday in January)Presidents' Day (third Monday in February)Memorial Day (last Monday in May; originally May 30)Independence Day (July 4)Labor Day (first Monday in September)Columbus Day (second Monday in October)Veterans Day (November 11)Thanksgiving Day (fourth Thursday in November)Christmas Day (December 25) There is also one legal holiday in the United States that is not a federal holiday: Loyalty Day (May 1) The federal government still observes Veterans Day on November 11. Incidentally, the state of Washington does also, because it was admitted to statehood on November 11 1889.
Mondays are public holidays for any public holiday that falls on a Sunday or Saturday. For holidays in Puerto Rico, include all of the US holidays plus the following: See also Holidays in Puerto Rico.
