What makes the United States calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the United States signature lives in the other dates: Washington's Birthday (Presidents Day, 16. Februar), shared with a single other country; Juneteenth National Independence Day (Juneteenth National Independence Day, 19. Juni), shared with a single other country. The longest dry spell of the year runs from Washington's Birthday (16. Februar) to Memorial Day (25. Mai): 98 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 10 nationwide holidays and Washington's Birthday will fall on a Montag (15. Februar).
