About

Larch is a modern almanac for readers who like to see the year unfold month by month. Our focus is a useful, unhurried view of holiday dates and the small seasonal rituals that surround them.

Let the year set the pace.

There is a rhythm to remembering, gathering and beginning again. Use the months as a guide and find a pace that feels like your own.

What is on our calendar

Browse nationwide U.S. federal holidays alongside selected cultural observances, Western Christian dates and major shopping days. Search by name, choose a month, or compare years from 2024 to 2035. Each date has its own guide and a calendar download.

How dates are prepared

Fixed dates and weekday rules are calculated for each year. Easter uses the Gregorian calendar calculation. Federal weekend observance follows the standard Monday–Friday workweek convention. Countdown labels use the America/New_York time zone.

Federal date rules are checked against the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. The Time and Date U.S. calendar provides additional reference for observances. Our summaries are written for this calendar; we are not affiliated with these reference providers.

Know the scope

This is a selected holiday calendar, not a complete record of every faith, state or local observance. An observance does not necessarily mean that schools, workplaces or businesses close. Federal schedules may change; verify important arrangements with the responsible organization.
