About this quiz
Plenty of the biggest days in the American calendar are not federal holidays at all: Easter, Halloween, Valentine's Day and Election Day among them.
- Federal holidays appear under the names the law gives them.
- Inauguration Day is a holiday only for federal employees around Washington, once every four years, and is not on the board.
- The days are listed from A to Z and never move.

Note on the data. The eleven federal holidays are those on the Office of Personnel Management's list, read on 3 October 2026. The other nineteen days were chosen because they are widely marked and do not appear on that list.
