No — today is not a public holiday in United States

How to tell if today is a public holiday in United States

United States federal holidays are set by Title 5 of the US Code, section 6103, and currently number eleven: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr Day, Inauguration Day (every fourth year, federal employees in the DC area only), Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. These dates bind federal agencies and federal employees only; private employers are not required to observe them. Each state separately legislates its own state holidays, which is why Patriots' Day shuts Massachusetts and Cesar Chavez Day shuts California while neither registers nationally.

That structure is why a simple "is it a holiday today" answer for United States is more nuanced than a single yes or no. A date can be a public holiday at the national level, a regional one observed only in certain states or provinces, or a banking holiday that closes financial settlement without closing every employer. The status shown above reflects the nationally recognised public holiday list for United States; if you are in a specific region, check the full calendar for the local additions that do not appear on the national list.

Working days and the holiday calendar in United States

There is no federal definition of a working day for private payroll. The Fair Labor Standards Act regulates overtime by hours worked in a workweek, not by counting business days, and most states default to a Monday through Friday business week with banks closed on weekends and federal holidays. Federal court filing deadlines under FRCP Rule 6(a) exclude Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, and roll forward when the last day lands on one of those. Banking settlement follows the Federal Reserve holiday schedule, which mirrors the federal list but is published separately because the Fed is not a federal agency in the 5 USC 6103 sense.

Right now there are about 0 full working days between today and Juneteenth, counting Monday to Friday and skipping any other public holidays in between. If you are scheduling a deliverable, a delivery, or a meeting that depends on people being at their desks in United States, that is the realistic window you have before the next closure.

For cross-border planning, overlay the United States calendar with the calendars of the other countries your team works with. A week that looks completely open from your side can be a national holiday on theirs, and the clash only shows up when you compare the two side by side. The full holiday page links into a country-by-country comparison so you can spot the weeks where almost nobody is at their desk before you commit to a date.

Holiday dates are compiled from Nager.Date and the national sources listed above. Regional and substitute-day rules vary; for legal deadlines, confirm the observed date with the relevant official calendar for United States.
