List of holidays

Federal holidays are designated by the United States Congress in Title V of the United States Code (usc: 6103).

Constitutionally, there are no "national holidays" in the United States because Congress only has authority to create holidays for federal institutions (including federally owned properties) and employees, and for the District of Columbia. Instead, there are federal holidays, state holidays, city holidays, and so on.

Currently, there are eleven U.S. Federal holidays, most (but not all) of which are also state holidays.
