The national calendar of holidays in the United States includes a total of 11 federal holidays, during which various activities are put on hold to commemorate events of national and international significance.
In that sense, according to the official schedule, the next one on the list will take place on Monday, September 7, when the country will celebrate Labor Day, creating a new long weekend for 2026.
Why this Monday, September 7, is a holiday across the country
According to what USA.gov explains, in 1882, the first American unions proposed creating a date to recognize workers’ contribution to the country.
In 1894, Congress decreed that year after year the first Monday in September would be a federal holiday, which in 2026 falls on Monday, September 7.
“Across the country, this day is celebrated with marches, speeches and fireworks, among other activities,” it says.
