Cesar Chavez Day

📣 Traveler notes

The United States is geographically diverse, featuring natural wonders (Yellowstone, Southwest canyonlands), major urban centers (Manhattan, Chicago), and various coastal destinations (Florida, Hawaii, Alaska).

• Federal offices, banks, and post offices close on federal holidays, but private businesses may remain open.
• If a federal holiday falls on a weekend, observance shifts to the nearest weekday, though local closures may still occur.
• The period between Thanksgiving and January 1 is the 'holiday season,' expected to bring increased crowds and traffic.
• New Year's Day (January 1) is a federal holiday, resulting in closures for most non-retail businesses.
• When dining, avoid joining occupied tables. For private homes, bringing a small gift (flowers or wine) is polite; only contribute a dish if requested. Taking home leftovers is acceptable, and finishing a full meal is not required.
