Veterans Day in the U.S. will occur on Friday, Nov. 11, and the stock market will be open for a full day of trading.
However, there are plenty of places that will be closed in observance of Veterans Day.
The post office, for one, closes on Veterans Day, as do most banks. Several private businesses also choose to observe the holiday. Additionally, many publicly traded companies offer veterans free meals, discounts and coupons. For instance, veterans can get a free coffee at Starbucks (SBUX (opens in new tab)) or a free meal at the Olive Garden, which is owned by Darden Restaurants (DRI (opens in new tab)).

Below, we feature a full schedule of all stock market and bond market holidays for 2022. Please note that the list of stock market holidays has actually grown by one in 2022. That’s because Congress voted in 2021 to make Juneteenth – the June 19 holiday commemorating the end of slavery – the 12th federal holiday. When President Joe Biden signed the bill last year, Juneteenth became the first new federal holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day (opens in new tab), which was signed into law in 1983 by then President Ronald Reagan.
