Falling on a weekend in 2027: Juneteenth National Independence Day (Saturday, 19 Jun), Independence Day (Sunday, 4 Jul), Puerto Rico Constitution Day (Sunday, 25 Jul) and Christmas Day (Saturday, 25 Dec).

Not a public holiday in every state, but in Puerto Rico: Epiphany, George Washington Day, Presidents' Day, and the Day of the Women and Men Heroes of Puerto Rico, Emancipation Day, Good Friday, Puerto Rico Constitution Day, Puerto Rico Constitution Day (observed) and Puerto Rican Identity Day.

For comparison: in 2027 the number of public holidays ranges from 13 (Massachusetts) to 25 (Texas). Puerto Rico lies in between with 21.

Days marked "observed" are substitute days off when a holiday falls on a weekend. Holidays based on a lunar calendar can shift by a day once the official announcement is made.

Dates are generated from the open-source library python-holidays and automatically cross-checked against Nager.Date and the public Google Calendar holiday calendars; every holiday on a working day must be confirmed by a second source. Official announcements take precedence, especially for holidays that depend on the moon or are declared at short notice.
