Maine State Holidays 2027
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 23, 2026
Maine state government offices observe 12 holidays in 2027: the federal holidays plus 1 state-specific day (Patriots' Day). Banks and most private employers in the United States follow the federal calendar, so a standard business-day count is unchanged: 2027 has 250 federal working days.
How Maine's holidays differ from the federal set
Maine observes Patriots' Day on the third Monday of April, the same day as Massachusetts, under Title 4 of the Maine Revised Statutes. It is a Maine state-office holiday. Banks and most private employers follow the federal calendar, so it does not change a standard business-day count. Maine also observes Indigenous Peoples' Day on the federal Columbus Day date, which is a renaming rather than an extra closure.

Effect on business-day counts
The working-day total on this page uses the federal holidays that banks and the Federal Reserve observe nationwide. The Maine holidays listed here are state-government office closures; most private employers do not close for them, so they usually do not change a business-day count. Observed dates can shift when a state holiday falls on a weekend.
