Overview
- Federal offices, the U.S. Postal Service and the New York Stock Exchange are closed on Monday, Sept. 7, 2026, under the Office of Personnel Management’s official holiday observance.
- Most bank branches are closed because the Federal Reserve observes the holiday, but ATMs and online or mobile banking remain available and some transfers or deposits may not post until Tuesday.
- UPS and FedEx have suspended regular pickup and delivery for the holiday while keeping limited critical services active, and USPS has paused regular mail service with normal operations set to resume Sept. 8.
- Major national retailers and supermarkets such as Walmart, Target, Kroger and Trader Joe’s are largely open with variable hours, while Costco keeps all its warehouses closed for the day.
- Local government services, transit schedules and trash collection vary by city — many run reduced or weekend timetables — and the holiday traces to worker celebrations in 1882 and federal recognition in 1894.
