Which federal holiday comes immediately after Memorial Day?

• A. Juneteenth National Independence Day
• B. Independence Day
• C. Labor Day
• D. Columbus Day

Answer: (A)

Understanding calendar order of federal holidays helps you know what comes after Memorial Day. Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday in May, and the next federal holiday on the calendar is Juneteenth National Independence Day, celebrated on June 19. Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021, which is why it sits directly after Memorial Day. The other holidays listed—Independence Day on July 4, Labor Day in September, and Columbus Day in October—occur later in the year. So, Juneteenth National Independence Day is the correct answer.
