How this site checks its facts

The worst thing a site like this can do is tell you something is open when it isn't. So every schedule here follows three rules.

• Every date comes from the institution's own schedule. Banks follow the Federal Reserve's holiday calendar, mail follows USPS, the stock market follows NYSE, the bond market follows SIFMA's recommendations, federal offices follow OPM, and each state's DMV page names the state schedule it was checked against.
• The site never guesses. When an institution hasn't published next year's schedule yet, its page says exactly that. Weekend-observance quirks — like the Fed keeping banks open the Friday before a Saturday holiday — are stated, not smoothed over.
• Uncertainty is said out loud. Where reality varies — Saturday branch hours, trash routes, school districts — the pages say "most" and tell you who has the final word, instead of pretending a national answer exists.

The schedules this site is checked against

• Banks: Federal Reserve holiday schedule
• Mail & the Post Office: USPS holiday schedule
• The Stock Market: NYSE holiday calendar
• UPS: UPS holiday schedule
• FedEx: FedEx holiday service schedule
• Federal Offices: OPM federal holiday schedule

Schedules are re-checked before each holiday, and the whole calendar gets a fresh pass every fall when institutions publish their next year. Last full verification: August 2026.
