How Indiana sets its holidays
These are the days off for Indiana state government employees (executive branch). They come from IC 1-1-9-1, 1-1-9-2; Governor's annual holiday schedule (SPD). Private employers, banks and schools in Indiana may follow their own schedules.
Weekend rule
A holiday that falls on a Saturday is observed the Friday before; one that falls on a Sunday is observed the following Monday.
Some Indiana holidays follow their own weekend rule:
- Washington's Birthday (observed): on a Saturday: the Friday before; on a Sunday: the Friday before.
In 2027, 2 holidays are observed on a different day because of the weekend: Independence Day and Christmas Day.
Compared with the federal calendar
Indiana adds 4 holidays that the federal calendar does not have: Good Friday, Primary Election Day, General Election Day, and Lincoln's Birthday (observed).
It does not list this federal holiday: Juneteenth National Independence Day. State offices are open on that day unless another rule applies.
Listed under a Indiana name: Presidents' Day as “Washington's Birthday (observed)”.
Dates are for Monday-Friday operations; Saturday/Sunday operations observe weekend holidays on the actual date.
