Alaska public holidays and PTO planner

This planning baseline starts with U.S. federal observed dates, then applies Alaska's source-reviewed state-government differences: it adds Seward’s Day, Alaska Day, Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and a one-time America 250 closure in 2026. The exact dates below feed the same PTO optimizer used by the main planner.

Planning baseline—not an employer calendar. Confirm paid holidays and observed dates with your workplace before requesting leave.

2026 and 2027 holiday calendars

“Observed” means the weekday used in place of a weekend holiday. Dates shown as weekends may require an employer-selected substitute day.

Questions about this calendar

Are all Alaska holidays guaranteed paid days off?
No. This federal-plus-state benchmark is not a promise that every private employer or state agency closes on every date shown. Confirm your workplace calendar before requesting leave. Always compare this calendar with your employment agreement and workplace calendar.
Why can my observed holiday date be different?
Weekend holidays, substitute days, collective agreements, and company policies can move the day you actually receive off. Add the date supplied by your employer as a Company Day Off before optimizing.
How are the 10, 15, and 20-day PTO results calculated?
They are generated by Holiday Optimizer's Balanced strategy for 2027, using a standard Monday-to-Friday workweek, the holiday dates on this page, and no pre-booked or company-specific days. Your personalized result can differ.
