New Jersey Holidays 2024, 2025, and 2026

This page contains a calendar of all state holidays for New Jersey. These dates may be modified as official changes are announced, so please check back regularly for updates.

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.
