In the strict sense, there are no national holidays in the United States. Each of the 50 states has jurisdiction over its holidays. In practice, however, the states tend to observe the ten federal (“legal”) public holidays that the President and Congress have designated.
The ten holidays that are proclaimed by the federal government are as follows: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, labor day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas.
By law, the states can decide when to celebrate a federal legal holiday, and even whether or not to celebrate it at all. However, the majority of the states (and the cities and towns within them) usually choose the date or day celebrated by the rest of the nation.
In 1971, the dates of many federal holidays were officially moved to the nearest Monday by then-President Richard Nixon.
