About New Year's Day

The first day of the Gregorian calendar year, and a federal holiday in the United States.

Because the date is fixed, the weekday moves each year. When 1 January falls on a Saturday, federal offices observe the holiday on the preceding Friday — which means the observed day lands in the previous December, and shows up on the previous year’s calendar rather than this one.

How the date is set

Always 1 January. Because the date is fixed rather than pinned to a weekday, it lands on a different day each year. When it falls on a Saturday, federal offices close the Friday before; when it falls on a Sunday, they close the Monday after.
