Veterans Day 2029 is still ahead. It falls on Sunday, 11 November 2029, 1,171 days after 28 August 2026. This page is kept whichever side of today the date falls on: the date and the rule behind it are worth looking up either way. For the year after this one see Next Veterans Day, and for the always-current countdown see the next Veterans Day.
Veterans Day 2029 is Sunday, 11 November 2029
There are 1,171 days between 28 August 2026 and Veterans Day 2029, which falls on Sunday, 11 November 2029. That is 167 weeks and 2 days, or 800 working days once Saturdays, Sundays and the US federal holidays in between are taken out — the figure that matters if you are counting delivery lead time or a work schedule rather than sleeps. The date is 2029-11-11 in ISO form and 11/11/2029 in the US format, it falls in ISO week 45 of 2029, and it is day 315 of 365.
How the date of Veterans Day is decided
Veterans Day is always 11 November, the anniversary of the 1918 armistice. When it falls on a weekend the federal observance shifts to the adjacent Friday or Monday.
That makes it a fixed date: the same day of the same month every year, so it lands on a different weekday each time. In 2029 it is a Sunday.
Veterans Day is one of the eleven US federal holidays. Federal offices, banks and the bond market close, and it does not count as a business day in any of the business-day calculators on this site. In 2029 it falls on a Sunday, so the federal observance moves to Monday, 12 November 2029 — that is the day offices actually close. The observed date is the one our business days calculator skips.

The date does not move, but the weekday does — which is why the same holiday gives a long weekend in some years and not others.
Every convention used above — whether the start date counts, how month ends are clamped, which holidays close an office — is written out on the methodology page, including how we count the 800 working days above.
