- State Holidays: Government offices and schools in that state may remain closed on the day the state observes a state holiday. It is not observed nationwide.
- Local Observances: Holidays are celebrated in certain cities or regions.
- Observances: Days of celebration are widely recognized, but are not usually days off from work or school. They are called awareness days.
- Religious/Cultural Holidays: Holidays tied to specific religious traditions, businesses may or may not close, but individuals may take the day off based on personal preference.
