On April 3, 2026, Good Friday will see the closure of major U.S. financial markets, including the Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange, despite not being a federal holiday. Most banks will operate normally, as Good Friday does not affect banking hours, although some local branches may have reduced hours depending on state observances. The United States Postal Service will continue regular mail delivery, ensuring that both personal and business shipments proceed without disruption. Retailers, grocery stores, and restaurants will also remain open, catering to increased foot traffic as families prepare for Easter celebrations. However, closures will occur on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026, affecting many major retailers and services. Good Friday holds religious significance but is not a federal holiday, leading to varying observances across states, with some like Delaware and New Jersey recognizing it as a public holiday.
