📣 Traveler notes

The U.S. features diverse geography, including major metropolitan areas, natural attractions (e.g., Yellowstone, Alaska), and diverse coastal regions.

  • Government offices, banks, and post offices typically close on federal holidays.
  • Local and state holidays may be observed in addition to federal ones.
  • If a federal holiday falls on a weekend, observance is usually moved to the nearest weekday.
  • The period between Thanksgiving and New Year's is the 'holiday season,' resulting in heavy crowds at major transportation hubs and shopping centers.
  • Non-retail businesses are generally closed on New Year's Day (January 1).

About this holiday

Federal holidays in the United States cause closures and paid time off for government offices. Private businesses are not federally required to close, and observance varies by state and local jurisdiction.
