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.

There are 11 federal holidays in 2033. Once weekend dates are moved to the nearest weekday, federal workers get 10 weekday days off in 2033. One is missing because New Year's Day 2033 falls on a Saturday, so it was observed on Friday, December 31, 2032. 2033 is also an Inauguration Day year, which is a holiday only for federal employees in the Washington, DC area.
Which federal holidays fall on a weekend in 2033?
Three federal holidays fall on a weekend in 2033: New Year's Day (Saturday, January 1, observed Friday, December 31, 2032), Juneteenth (Sunday, June 19, observed Monday, June 20), and Christmas Day (Sunday, December 25, observed Monday, December 26). A Saturday holiday moves to the Friday before, and a Sunday holiday moves to the Monday after.
How many three-day weekends are there in 2033?
2033 has 9 three-day weekends from federal holidays: Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, and Christmas Day. There is also one holiday on a Tuesday or Thursday, where one day of leave turns it into a four-day weekend.
When is Thanksgiving 2033?
Thanksgiving 2033 is on Thursday, November 24, 2033. It is always the fourth Thursday of November, so it can fall anywhere from November 22 to November 28.

When is Easter 2033, and is Good Friday a holiday?
Easter Sunday 2033 is on April 17. Good Friday is April 15. It is not a federal holiday, but a few states treat it as a state holiday, and some schools and businesses close. Our Easter guide explains how the date is set.
Is Christmas Eve 2033 a federal holiday?
No. Christmas Eve, Saturday, December 24, 2033, is not a federal holiday. Federal offices are open unless the President gives an extra day off by executive order, which has happened in some years. A few states list it as a state holiday.
Are banks closed on federal holidays in 2033?
Banks usually follow the Federal Reserve, which closes on all 11 federal holidays. When a holiday falls on a Sunday, the Federal Reserve closes on the Monday after. When it falls on a Saturday, the Federal Reserve stays open on the Friday before. In 2033 that affects New Year's Day (open Friday, December 31), so banks may be open on a day when federal offices are closed.
When does daylight saving time start and end in 2033?
Daylight saving time starts on Sunday, March 13, when clocks move forward one hour at 2:00 a.m., and ends on Sunday, November 6, when clocks move back one hour. Hawaii and most of Arizona do not change their clocks.
When is Election Day 2033?
Election Day 2033 is Tuesday, November 8, 2033, the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. It is not a federal holiday, but some states give workers the day off or paid time to vote. In odd years like 2033, most elections are state and local.
How many working days are in 2033?
2033 has 260 weekdays. Take away the 10 federal days off and a Monday to Friday schedule has 250 working days. Your employer may add or remove days, so check your own holiday schedule.
