Welcome to the new year.
Though 2025 has just begun, calendars are already being marked with holiday observances.
The Office of Personnel Management lists 12 federal holidays across 11 days. The mismatch arises as Inauguration Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day both fall on Jan. 20.
Federal holidays cause federal offices to close along with banks and financial markets.
Not included in the OPM list is the day of mourning on Jan. 9 called by President Joe Biden in the wake of former President Jimmy Carter’s death.
Other holidays on the calendar to be celebrated include Easter, Hanukkah and Ramadan.
Here are the dates for holidays in 2025.
