US federal holidays are calculated for every year

Most US federal holidays fall on a rule, not a date, such as "the third Monday of January". The calendar applies the rule to the year you choose.

HolidayRule2027
Martin Luther King Jr. Day3rd Monday of JanuaryJan 18
Presidents' Day3rd Monday of FebruaryFeb 15
Memorial DayLast Monday of MayMay 31
Labor Day1st Monday of SeptemberSep 6
Columbus Day2nd Monday of OctoberOct 11
Thanksgiving4th Thursday of NovemberNov 25

New Year's Day, Juneteenth (since 2021), Independence Day, Veterans Day and Christmas Day are fixed dates. When one falls on a weekend, the observed day may differ: check your employer's calendar. You can also choose French holidays or none.

A calendar that looks like your family

  • One photo per month, or the same photo repeated: your choice.
  • A cover page with a title and the year.
  • 8 designs: clean, sunny, dark, kraft, polaroid, band, forest, ocean.
  • Weeks that start on Sunday (US) or Monday.

Landscape or square photos work best. They are cropped to the center automatically.

Printing and gifting

The PDF has one page per month in Letter or Tabloid size at 300 dpi. Print single-sided on 24 to 65 lb paper, punch the top and add a spiral or a hanging dowel. For a gift, order the print by early November for the following year.

A classroom calendar

"Orange band" design on Tabloid: one class photo per month and the cover "Room 12 – Ms. Carter". Holidays appear in red with their names.

A wedding keepsake calendar

"Pink polaroid", wedding photos with handwritten-style captions. Turn off observances so only federal holidays remain.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a printable photo calendar for free?
Pick the year and design, add photos and captions: designing and previewing are free. The high-definition PDF without the watermark is a one-time payment, and you never create an account.
Are the US holidays correct?
The fixed dates and the Monday and Thursday rules are applied to the chosen year. Juneteenth appears from 2021. If a holiday falls on a weekend, the observed weekday is not moved on the grid.
Can I make a calendar for another year?
Yes, any year from 1900 to 2100. The day grid and observances recalculate instantly.
What kind of photos work best?
Sharp photos, ideally landscape or square, at least 1,000 pixels wide. They are cropped to the center to fill the space.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. They stay in your browser while you design and are used only to compose the pages.
