Countdown
This countdown is whole days from today's UTC date to the next United States federal holiday, using the observed date when the holiday falls on a weekend. The HTML number does not tick every second. It matches the homepage figure and updates when the site is rebuilt. Scripting may show a clock to a UTC datetime. This page is not a minutes timer and is not the how-many-days tool.

Holiday countdown FAQ
Which holiday is this counting to?
The next United States federal holiday from today, using the observed date if the holiday falls on a weekend. Civic dates are not in this list.
Does the number tick during the day?
The HTML answer is whole days from today’s UTC date, the same figure as the homepage. It changes when the site is rebuilt. With scripting on, the clock counts seconds to the chosen UTC time. That is an enhancement, not the date.
How is this different from how many days until?
How many days until is a midnight count to any date, including Christmas and named holiday URLs. This page is the next federal holiday, with an optional clock to a UTC datetime. The online timer is a minutes clock that is not tied to a calendar date.
Where is the holiday page?
Each row can link to that holiday’s year page, which carries the statute, sources and the date in surrounding years.
