Veterans Day
November 11 @ 12:00 am - 11:30 pm UTC-5
As a federal holiday, Veterans Day is typically observed on Nov. 11 every year. However, if it occurs on a Sunday then the federal government designates the following Monday as the Federal holiday. If Nov. 11 falls on a Saturday, then the government may designate either Saturday or Friday. The 2024 federal observation date is Monday, Nov. 11, 2024.
When the observed Federal holiday and Nov. 11 dates are different, Veterans Day activities may take place on both days. Many activities are often scheduled the weekend leading up to Veterans Day even during years when both dates match.
Veterans have many milestones to back on. 2020 marked the 75th anniversary of the end of WWII, the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the Korean War, and the 30th anniversary of both the end of the Panama Invasion and the beginning of Desert Shield.
