Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about national days, federal holidays, bank holidays and how to use this guide.
What is National Days Guide?
A free guide to upcoming holidays, national and international days, events and celebrations across the USA and the UK — with dates, history, traditions, wishes and celebration ideas for each day.
When is the next federal holiday in the USA?
Federal holidays are official US government days off. Check the live countdown above for the next one coming up.
When is the next UK bank holiday?
Bank holidays are the UK’s official public holidays, with some differences between England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The countdown list above shows the next one.
Are national days the same as federal or bank holidays?
No. Federal holidays (USA) and bank holidays (UK) are official days off. National and international days are observances — some widely celebrated, some fun or awareness-focused — and most are not days off work.
