2028 Calendar with Week Numbers and Holidays

What stands out in 2028

2028 begins on a Saturday and ends on a Sunday. It is a leap year of 366 days, so February runs to the 29th and every date from March 1 onward has a day-of-year number one higher than in a common year. It has 52 ISO weeks. Week 1 begins on Monday, January 3. New Year's Day therefore still belongs to week 52 of 2027.

Counting Monday through Friday, 2028 has 260 weekdays. Ten of them are observed US federal holidays, which leaves 250 federal working days. New Year's Day falls on a Saturday, so the federal holiday is observed on Friday, December 31, 2027. Veterans Day falls on a Saturday, so the federal holiday is observed on Friday, November 10. With New Year's Day observed in 2027, 2028 has only ten federal holiday dates of its own. Independence Day is a Tuesday, Thanksgiving is on November 23, and Christmas Day falls on a Monday.

Western (Gregorian) Easter is on Sunday, April 16, well inside its possible range of March 22 to April 25. There are thirteen full moons in 2028 by UTC date, with two in December: December 2 and December 31. The second of a pair is what is popularly called a blue moon. Friday the 13th occurs once, in October.

In the United States, clocks go forward on Sunday, March 12 and back on Sunday, November 5. The United Kingdom and the European Union change on Sunday, March 26 and Sunday, October 29. Between those dates the usual gap between New York and London shrinks by an hour: for 14 days in spring and 7 days in autumn the two cities are four hours apart instead of five, which is worth checking before booking transatlantic calls.

Reading the week numbers

The calendar uses ISO 8601 weeks, the convention common in Europe and in business reporting: weeks start on Monday, and week 1 is the week that contains the year's first Thursday (equivalently, the week containing January 4). A year therefore has 52 or 53 ISO weeks, and the first or last few days of January and December can belong to a neighboring week-year. In the United States, printed calendars usually start the week on Sunday and count January 1 as part of week 1, so a US week number can differ from the ISO one by a week. When a schedule says "week 14", confirm which system it means; the ISO vs US week comparison shows both side by side.

Printing the calendar

Use the print button or your browser's print command. The printed version leaves out the site header, navigation, and the reference tables, keeps each month whole, and lays the year out three months to a row; portrait orientation fits it on two pages. Holiday and moon symbols print in black, so the key above still applies on a monochrome printer.
