A plan for this holiday

Veterans Day is November 11. Federal and Reserve Bank calendars recognize the holiday, but it is not a scheduled NYSE or Nasdaq equity closure in the verified 2026 calendar. Individual bank branches and local services can differ.

Start with the service you actually need. A bank transfer, a staffed branch, a parcel pickup and a storefront visit can all have different availability on the same date. Select a service above to see its scope and exceptions.

When does normal service resume?

For NYSE, Federal Reserve Banks and standard federal offices, a closed entry lists the next scheduled opening date when it is within verified coverage. We do not infer a carrier’s next delivery date or a specific location’s reopening time.

Keep local changes separate

This is a holiday calendar, not an emergency-status feed. Weather, service alerts and appointment cancellations can change a day’s actual operations. Follow the linked organization before a time-sensitive trip.

A FEW USEFUL DETAILS

Before you go.

When is Veterans Day 2026?

The actual date is Wednesday, November 11, 2026.

Is Veterans Day a federal holiday?

Yes. It appears in OPM’s federal calendar. This applies to federal employee holiday observance; it does not establish every organization’s hours.

Are schools and stores closed?

There is no uniform U.S. school or retail closure schedule. Check your district’s calendar and the exact store or department using the official links. The federal calendar alone does not establish their status.
