Planning Around May 2025
May has 1 federal holiday, so expect banks, schools and government offices to close on Memorial Day (May 26). Most private employers observe the biggest ones, but always check your company's list. May 2025 has 21 working days and 9 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 2025 holidays page.
Holidays vs. observances in May
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 May 2025 calendar.
