About U.S. Inauguration Day
The date on which a new president of the United States is
inaugurated is a federal holiday that occurs
on January 20 every four years, unless that date
is a Sunday, in which case it falls on Monday, the
21st of January. If that date is the same date
as Martin Luther King Day, only one holiday is
given to federal employees.
