PRACTICAL HOLIDAY PLANNING
What’s open on holidays?
A federal holiday does not close every service. Banks, postal operations, schools and financial markets follow different calendars. Start with the service you need, then confirm locally before traveling.

CHECK THE GUIDE ↗Why the answers differ
“Federal holiday” describes the calendar followed by federal employees. It does not automatically require every private employer, bank branch, school or market to close. Daymark separates each service and links to the organization responsible for its schedule.
How to verify a local opening
Use the official schedule first, then check the location finder or district calendar for the place you plan to visit. Weather, local observances, staffing and emergency conditions can change normal hours.
