Hey there, holiday lovers! It’s your Holiday Little Assistant back with some must-know info. I’ve gotten tons of questions about how many bank holidays the US had in 2022<\/b>, so let’s break it down in everyday terms (no confusing legal jargon here!). <\/p>\n

So How Many Bank Holidays Were There in 2022? <\/h2>\n

The US had 11 federal bank holidays<\/b> in 2022. These are the days when most banks, government offices, and many businesses close up shop to celebrate. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Wait, don’t some states add extra days?” You’re absolutely right! While these 11 are recognized nationwide, some states sprinkle in a few extras (looking at you, Texas with your Confederate Heroes Day). But for this article, we’re focusing on the big ones everyone gets. <\/p>\n

The Full 2022 US Bank Holiday Lineup <\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s the official roster \u2013 mark your (retroactive) calendars: <\/p>\n

    \n
  • \ud83d\udcc5 New Year’s Day<\/b> \u2013 January 1 (Saturday, observed Friday December 31, 2021)<\/li>\n
  • \ud83c\udf96\ufe0f Martin Luther King Jr. Day<\/b> \u2013 January 17<\/li>\n
  • \ud83d\udc98 Presidents’ Day<\/b> \u2013 February 21<\/li>\n
  • \ud83c\udf38 Memorial Day<\/b> \u2013 May 30<\/li>\n
  • \ud83c\udf86 Juneteenth<\/b> \u2013 June 19 (Newest federal holiday since 2021!)<\/li>\n
  • \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 Independence Day<\/b> \u2013 July 4<\/li>\n
  • \ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83d\udcbc Labor Day<\/b> \u2013 September 5<\/li>\n
  • \ud83d\udef3\ufe0f Columbus Day<\/b> \u2013 October 10<\/li>\n
  • \ud83c\udf96\ufe0f Veterans Day<\/b> \u2013 November 11<\/li>\n
  • \ud83e\udd83 Thanksgiving Day<\/b> \u2013 November 24<\/li>\n
  • \ud83c\udf84 Christmas Day<\/b> \u2013 December 25 (Sunday, observed Monday December 26)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Pro Tip: The “Observed” Holiday Shuffle <\/h2>\n

    See those notes about dates shifting? That\u2019s the government\u2019s clever trick when holidays land on weekends. If July 4th is a Saturday? You get Friday July 3rd off instead. Christmas on a Sunday? Enjoy Monday the 26th. This keeps the holiday spirit alive without robbing you of a day off!<\/p>\n

    Why Bank Holidays Matter for Everyone <\/h2>\n

    Even if you\u2019re not a banker, these dates affect you: <\/p>\n

      \n
    • \ud83d\udcb3 ATMs still work<\/b>, but deposits won\u2019t process until the next business day<\/li>\n
    • \ud83d\udce6 Mail delivery pauses<\/b> (sorry, Amazon Prime addicts)<\/li>\n
    • \u2696\ufe0f Court deadlines<\/b> get extended if they fall on a holiday<\/li>\n
    • \ud83c\udfa2 Amusement parks & museums<\/b> often have special holiday hours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Fun Fact: The New Kid on the Calendar <\/h2>\n

      2022 marked only the second year Juneteenth was a federal holiday<\/b>! After being signed into law in June 2021, this celebration of emancipation finally got the recognition it deserves. Some businesses are still adjusting \u2013 in 2022, about 60% gave employees the day off compared to nearly 100% for Christmas. <\/p>\n

      There you have it, folks! Whether you’re planning 2023 vacations (pro tip: always check next year\u2019s dates \u2013 they shift!) or just settling a bet about 2022, remember your Holiday Little Assistant has your back.
