What stands out in 2028
In 2028, 2 holidays fall on a weekend and are observed on another day: New Year's Day falls on Saturday, January 1, observed Friday, December 31, 2027 and Veterans Day falls on Saturday, November 11, observed Friday, November 10. 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.
New Year's Day 2028 is a Saturday and is observed on Friday, December 31, 2027, in the previous year. That leaves 2028 with 10 weekday federal days off.
7 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, 2028 has 8 three-day weekends: Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.: Saturday, January 15 to Monday, January 17; Washington's Birthday (Presidents' Day): Saturday, February 19 to Monday, February 21; Memorial Day: Saturday, May 27 to Monday, May 29; Juneteenth National Independence Day: Saturday, June 17 to Monday, June 19; Labor Day: Saturday, September 2 to Monday, September 4; Columbus Day: Saturday, October 7 to Monday, October 9; Veterans Day: Friday, November 10 to Sunday, November 12; Christmas Day: Saturday, December 23 to Monday, December 25.
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.
