Dates marked "expected" can move by a day, because they depend on the new moon being seen. State holidays are not listed; check your state government's website.
How these dates are set: federal holidays follow federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103) and the OPM day-off rule. The other dates follow their own rules, for example the Easter rule, the Hebrew calendar, the Umm al-Qura calendar for Muslim holidays, and astronomy for the seasons. More about how we check dates.
