About US Federal Holidays
The United States observes 11 federal holidays each year, during which most federal government offices are closed and federal employees are given paid time off. While private businesses are not required to close or give employees the day off, many choose to observe these holidays.
Federal holidays include a mix of commemorative days honoring historical figures and events (like Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Independence Day), days of remembrance (like Memorial Day and Veterans Day), and traditional celebrations (like Thanksgiving and Christmas).
