Holidays & Banks
Federal holidays decide when banks, the post office, and the stock market close — but the closure rules are not identical for all three. Here you will find the US federal holiday schedule, bank holiday hours, USPS closures, and NYSE trading holidays, plus the observed-day rules that shift a holiday when it lands on a weekend. Every date is verified against the official source: OPM, the Federal Reserve, USPS, or the NYSE.
