What are the holidays in the United States

In the United States, all holidays are divided into federal and state. Federal holidays are those on which almost everyone has the right to a day off. They are not always celebrated throughout the country. For example, President’s Day, Juneteenth (Emancipation Day) and Columbus Day are not celebrated in all states.

Public holidays are celebrated in one or more states. These days can be both weekends and working days. Most public holidays in the United States are timed to coincide with local events. For example, Prince John Kuhio Kalanianaole Day is celebrated only in the state of Hawaii, as he was the Hawaiian Paramount Chief.

Below we provide a list of federal and state holidays in the United States in 2022. Opposite each, the states in which they are celebrated can be indicated. For convenience, we have used postal abbreviations for each state. You can see their decoding in the illustration below:
