Which US federal holidays are in January 2027?
This monthly page has two U.S. federal holiday entries: New Year's Day on Friday, January 1; and Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. on Monday, January 18. These are the January dates to check before setting payroll deadlines, office coverage, shipping windows, travel plans, school notices, or customer-service hours.
Are either January dates observed on another weekday?
No separate observed weekday is shown for January 2027 because New Year's Day falls on a Friday and Martin Luther King Jr. Day is already a Monday holiday. When a later 2027 fixed-date federal holiday needs a separate observed closure date, the monthly and annual pages keep the observed date visible beside the official date.
Why does the page use the official MLK holiday name?
The federal holiday is listed as Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. in this data set. Some calendars shorten the name to Martin Luther King Jr. Day or MLK Day, so use the official name when comparing this page with federal schedules, workplace memos, payroll systems, or school calendars.
What should I verify outside this federal list?
Federal holidays are not the same as every state, school, bank, court, market, shipping, or private-employer closure. Use this page for the federal baseline, then confirm local calendars when a closure, appointment, delivery, or deadline depends on a specific organization.

January inside the 2027 federal holiday year
January has 2 of the 11 U.S. federal holiday entries listed for 2027. Use this page when your planning window is only January, then use the full United States 2027 calendar when you need February through December federal holidays.

- The next listed 2027 U.S. federal holiday after January is Washington's Birthday on Monday, February 15.
Official dates and observed-date rules
The U.S. calendar separates official dates from observed federal closure dates because fixed-date holidays can shift when they fall on a weekend.
- January 2027 does not need a separate observed weekday in this data set.
- Later 2027 observed-date checks include Juneteenth, Independence Day, and Christmas Day.
- Use the observed date for federal closure planning when a page shows one, and keep the official date for the holiday record.
When to switch to quarter or annual views
The January page is best for a one-month task, while the Q1 and annual pages help when the decision spans multiple holidays.
- Use the Q1 page when you need January, February, and March in one planning view.
- Use the full U.S. 2027 page when you need all 11 federal holiday entries and source links together.
- Use the printable January image when you need one shareable calendar for a team, classroom, travel group, or service desk.
