New Jersey Public Holidays
New Jersey’s state holidays are listed below for current and future years.
New Jersey celebrates many of the same holidays as the federal government. On those dates, offices and some businesses are closed. If the holiday falls on a weekend, the holiday is celebrated on either Friday or Monday, depending on the day of the weekend where the holiday falls.
The state also observes Good Friday as a holiday, and in even years the day of the General Election is considered a holiday.
