2018 - 2019
Below are listed the principal federal and state government holidays, Christian, Jewish and Islamic holidays and festivals; and special recognition days for 2018 and 2019. Technically, the United States does not observe national holidays. Each state has jurisdiction over its holidays, which are usually designated by its legislature. The list was compiled partially from the Texas Government Code, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, Astronomical Phenomena 2018 and Astronomical Phenomena 2019, published jointly by the U.S. Naval Observatory and the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office.
