Summer is here with Memorial Day’s three-day weekend.Observed on the last Monday in May each year, Memorial Day unofficially marks the start of warmer months with a long weekend known for barbecues, yard work and pool openings to honor the day of remembrance for military members who died in service.The solemn day, recognized as one of the 11 federal holidays in the calendar year, is acknowledged across the country with flags lowered to half-staff under the established nationwide tradition. It is one of the few times flags are lowered in every state. However, it is up to individual employers to decide whether they offer time off or additional pay for work on federal holidays.Find the full list of 2026 federal holidays below:The full list of 2026 federal holidays has been revealed (Getty/iStock)New Year’s Day: Thursday, January 1Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.: Monday, January 19Presidents’ Day: Monday, February 16Memorial Day: Monday, May 25Juneteenth National Independence Day: Friday, June 19Independence Day: Saturday, July 4Labor Day: Monday, September 7Indigenous Peoples’ Day (also observed as Columbus Day): Monday, October 12Veterans Day: Wednesday, November 11Thanksgiving Day: Thursday, November 26Christmas Day: Friday, December 25Other important days to note:Valentine’s Day: Saturday, February 14St. Patrick’s Day: Tuesday, March 17April Fools’ Day: Wednesday, April 1First Day of Passover: Wednesday, April 1Good Friday: Friday, April 3Easter: Sunday, April 5Mother’s Day: Sunday, May 10Father’s Day: Sunday, June 21Halloween: Saturday, October 31 First Day of Hannukkah: Friday, December 4Christmas Eve: Thursday, December 24New Year’s Eve: Thursday, December 31
