Planning Around January 2028
January has 2 federal holidays, so expect banks, schools and government offices to close on New Year's Day (Jan 1), Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Jan 17). Most private employers observe the biggest ones, but always check your company's list. January 2028 has 20 working days and 10 weekend days across its 31 days.
Tip: mark these dates on a wall calendar so they don't sneak up on you. Add your own events with the calendar maker, or see the whole year on the 2028 holidays page.
Holidays vs. observances in January
Not every date on this page is a day off. Federal holidays are set by law and close government offices and banks. Observances like cultural or seasonal days are widely celebrated but nothing closes for them. Both are worth knowing when you plan the month — and both appear on our January 2028 calendar.
