What stands out in 2026
In 2026, one holiday falls on a weekend and is observed on another day: Independence Day falls on Saturday, July 4, observed Friday, July 3. A Saturday holiday is observed the Friday before and a Sunday holiday the Monday after (5 U.S.C. 6103(b) and Executive Order 11582). The calendar fills the day off and underlines the legal date.
5 of the 11 holidays are observed on a Monday (most by rule, like the third Monday in January for Martin Luther King Jr.). Counting the Friday ones too, 2026 has 8 three-day weekends: Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.: Saturday, January 17 to Monday, January 19; Washington's Birthday (Presidents' Day): Saturday, February 14 to Monday, February 16; Memorial Day: Saturday, May 23 to Monday, May 25; Juneteenth National Independence Day: Friday, June 19 to Sunday, June 21; Independence Day: Friday, July 3 to Sunday, July 5; Labor Day: Saturday, September 5 to Monday, September 7; Columbus Day: Saturday, October 10 to Monday, October 12; Christmas Day: Friday, December 25 to Sunday, December 27.
Only federal holidays are marked. They are the days off for federal employees; banks, schools and private employers set their own schedules, usually close to this one. State holidays and the day after Thanksgiving vary by state and employer, so the notes column is there for yours.
How to print it on US Letter
- Pick a layout: the whole year on one sheet (for a wall or the fridge), one month per page (12 pages with room to write) or two months per page (6 pages).
- Pick paper and orientation. US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) is preselected; switch to A4 if you print outside North America. The paper chosen here has to match the one in the print dialog, or the browser shrinks the page or clips the edge.
- Press Print / Save as PDF. In the browser dialog keep scale at 100% ("Actual size") and turn off "Headers and footers" so the URL does not print on the page.
- To keep a file instead of paper, choose "Save as PDF" as the destination. For a black-and-white printer turn on ink saver: holidays get a black outline instead of a blue fill.
US calendars start the week on Sunday, so that is the default here. Switch to Monday in the builder if your planner does.
