Massachusetts Holidays 2024, 2025, and 2026
This page contains a calendar of all 2024, 2025, and 2026 state holidays for Massachusetts. These dates may be modified as official changes are announced, so please check back regularly for updates.
Massachusetts celebrates holidays that are recognized by the federal government. The state also observes some holidays that are considered state holidays, such as Patriot’s Day. Patriots’ Day is celebrated the third Monday in April, a holiday only celebrated by Massachusetts and Maine. The holiday is to recognize the patriots who fought for the country’s independence.
Massachusetts is one of only a few states that does provide overtime pay for some holidays and has laws in place that allow employees time from work on certain holidays and Sundays. State law also states that if there is a collective bargaining agreement in place that provides for premium pay on Sunday or holidays, all employees, even if they do not belong to the union, must be given premium pay for holiday work.
