How weekend holidays are observed
A federal holiday falling on a Saturday is observed on the Friday before; one falling on a Sunday is observed on the Monday after. The rule applies only to holidays fixed to a calendar date — Independence Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Juneteenth and Veterans Day. Holidays tied to a weekday, such as Labor Day and Thanksgiving, are already on a Monday or Thursday and never move.
