Holiday List in Wyoming 2026

The holiday schedule in Wyoming mirrors the operation of the state itself:lean, predictable, and incurious about symbolism. A small population distributed over a very large landmass has meant that functionality has always been the key here. When governmental offices are closed in Wyoming, it is easily palpable and easier to work around.

Most holidays in the state of Wyoming are the same as holidays on the federal calendar. This is not accidental. Federal holidays are already synchronized for mail operations, banking hours, courts, and interstate operations. In a state where state agencies commonly function with reduced staff and geographic distances separating their offices, this is a positive aspect.

However, there is one area that deviates from the Federal List. Wyoming maintains Good Friday as an across-the-board holiday. It is not an addition taken on by Wyoming as an element of their cultural heritage. It is an established practice that is still included within state observance. Wyoming state government offices are closed on Good Friday, in spite of it not being an official holiday.

Apart from that, Wyoming is resistant to artificial layers. There is no Election Day closure. There are no state persona days and the official unfiltered list can be found below.

How Holidays Work in Wyoming

For state agencies in Wyoming, this is the calendar that matters. Licensing agencies, regulatory agencies, state courts, and the like, take notice. If the deadline is on one of these dates, it changes. If an office visit has been scheduled, it will be rescheduled. There is no confusion about which days “count” or don’t.

Good Friday is peculiar in that it is amongst the few non federal holidays that the state still honors. Its retention is more about administrative continuity than contemporary discourses. Good Friday has been a part of the closing pattern in Wyoming for many years and is well incorporated into the way the state determines its spring calendar.

Juneteenth is listed here alone because it has federal status. Wyoming has not established its own state holiday, but state offices will be closed in compliance with federal regulation.

When Independence Day happens to fall on a weekend, Wyoming closes on the nearest available weekday. In the year 2026, it will be closed on Friday, July 3rd.

The banking system observes the fed banking calendar, which clashes mostly with the above list but does not consider Good Friday as a holiday. Private institutions are not bound by the state holiday calendars.
