Why New Year's Day falls when it does in 2028
New Year's Day 2028 falls on Saturday, and because that is a weekend federal offices observe it on Friday, December 31, 2027.
Days off around New Year's Day in 2028
New Year's Day 2028 gives 3 consecutive days off, Friday, December 31, 2027 to Sunday, January 2, 2028, because the holiday falls at a weekend and is observed on Friday, December 31, 2027.
This is the part that changes: the date of New Year's Day moves by a day or two each year, and whether that makes a three-day weekend, a four-day one or nothing at all depends entirely on which weekday it lands on.
