About Holidays in United States
The United States observes ten federal holidays each year, from New Year's Day to Christmas. Federal holidays mean that government offices, banks, and the stock market close. Many private businesses also give employees the day off. The biggest celebrations include Independence Day with fireworks, Thanksgiving with family dinners, and the winter holiday season. Plan your year with our complete US holiday calendar and set countdown timers for each holiday.
