Why some holidays move
Holidays fall into three groups. Fixed dates, such as Christmas (December 25) or Juneteenth (June 19), land on a different weekday each year. Weekday holidays are defined as a certain weekday of a month, such as the fourth Thursday of November for Thanksgiving, so the weekday stays the same and the date shifts within a week-long window. Easter-based days depend on the Moon: Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring, and Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are counted back from it, so they can move by more than a month.
US federal holidays have one more rule. When one falls on a Saturday, federal offices observe it on the Friday before; when it falls on a Sunday, on the Monday after. The pages for federal holidays show the observed date in those years.
