Oregon’s holiday list is like Oregon itself: functional, trimmed-down, and constructed to maintain harmony across the broad landscape. When the state capital, Salem, closes its doors, it is not to pay homage to an observance. It is because the closure is felt in every state agency and office.
You’ll also see what Oregon chooses not to do. It doesn’t add extra closure days just to match the mood of the nation. Oregon honors the basic public holidays and then adds one specific day: the day after Thanksgiving.
The tables below show Oregon state government holidays for 2027 and 2026, according to holiday lists released by the state.

Oregon observes a holiday that falls on a Saturday on the Friday before, and one that falls on a Sunday on the following Monday. In 2027, that moves Juneteenth to Friday, June 18, Independence Day to Monday, July 5, Christmas Day to Friday, December 24, and New Year’s Day 2028 to Friday, December 31, 2027. Oregon has not yet published its official 2027 schedule, so these dates follow state rules.

How Holidays Are Observed in Oregon
The holidays listed above are the ones Oregon sets for state government. If you deal with a state office, this is the calendar that applies.
One of the most Oregon-specific facts is that the day after Thanksgiving is a state holiday. State offices close statewide that day, even though it is not a federal holiday. That explains why it is marked “State” in the table.
Juneteenth is also a state holiday. Oregon added June 19 to its list of legal holidays, so state offices close that day, as federal offices do.
Banks usually observe the federal banking calendar, which overlaps a great deal with Oregon’s list. Private companies do not have to follow the state’s holiday calendar.
