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.
In 2027, 2 holidays are observed on a different day because of the weekend: Independence Day and Christmas Day.
Compared with the federal calendar
Oklahoma adds 2 holidays that the federal calendar does not have: Day after Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday (second day).
It does not list these federal holidays: Juneteenth National Independence Day and Columbus Day. State offices are open on those days unless another rule applies.
