Illinois Public Holidays

State holidays for Illinois are listed below for current and future years.

In addition to holidays observed nationwide, Illinois also observes Lincoln’s Birthday, Juneteenth, and General Election Day in election years. If a holiday falls on a Saturday, the holiday is celebrated on Friday and if the holiday falls on Sunday, it is celebrated on Monday. Banks are permitted to celebrate legal holidays that fall on a Sunday on Monday, but are closed on Saturday if the holiday falls on that day of the week.
