That "Quiet Town" Might Be Having a Parade
When planning a long road trip across a country like the United States, it's easy to forget that holidays can vary from state to state.
- Patriots' Day in Massachusetts and Maine.
- Mardi Gras in Louisiana.
- Seward's Day in Alaska.
Driving into a city during a major local holiday can mean unexpected road closures, traffic, and fully booked hotels. While our Public Holidays Explorer focuses on national holidays, it's a great starting point to know when the major federal holidays are, and a reminder to do a quick search for state-specific holidays along your route.
