Florida’s holidays, observances commemorate religion, history
November through January is generally known as the holiday season in the United States, as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day are celebrated and observed as days employees have off. Other holidays are also celebrated during that time of year, including Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.
While the holiday season may be a short period of the year, there are many other holidays observed throughout the calendar year. In Florida, there are state-specific holidays, which are observed in state offices.
Mardi Gras, also known as Shrove Tuesday, is one of the holidays and observances celebrated in Florida each year.
