Holidays in October 2028

Columbus Day is the one federal holiday in October 2028. It falls on Monday the 9th, the second Monday of the month, and many states observe the day as Indigenous Peoples' Day. Halloween appears in the list below as an observance and is not drawn into the grid.

How this October 2028 page works

October begins on a Sunday. Sunday start places the 1st in the first column and uses five rows. Monday start puts it at the end of the first row and requires six rows. Halloween falls on Tuesday the 31st.

The drawing is an SVG in millimeter units, so a day cell has a real width before it has a rendered one, and the print stylesheet hands the exact dimensions of your chosen paper to the print dialog. The page serves no raster image or pre-made PDF: the browser draws the vectors and writes the PDF itself if you ask it to. The dates are computed: a Sunday start and 31 days, filled cell by cell, with Columbus Day placed from its federal definition as the second Monday of the month.

The sheet has no week numbers or moon phases, and non-federal observances stay out of the cells, so Halloween is listed below the sheet with no mark in the grid. Two options change the drawing itself. The coloring layout moves the month into the lower part of the page beneath a framed blank panel, a good fit for October. The Monday week start makes the bigger change here, taking the month from five rows to six. Keep print scale at 100% ("Actual size"), or the grid shrinks and the measurements go with it.

Frequently asked questions

What day of the week does October 2028 start on?
On a Sunday, October 1, ending on Tuesday, October 31. Because it opens on a Sunday, the default Sunday-start grid begins flush in the first column with no empty leading cells, and the 31 days fit into five week rows.
Why does the Monday-start option add a row to October 2028?
Because the month begins on a Sunday. Under a Monday-start week, Sunday the 1st is the last cell of the first row and sits there alone, so the rest of the month starts on the second row and spills into a sixth, which holds Monday the 30th and Tuesday the 31st. It is the opposite of April 2028, where the Monday start saves a row. The dates stay on the same weekdays; only the arrangement changes, and with it the height of the cells.
When is Columbus Day in 2028?
Monday, October 9, 2028, observed as Indigenous Peoples' Day in many states. The federal rule places it on the second Monday in October, so this sheet finds the date by counting Mondays. It is marked in its grid cell, and because the rule puts it on a Monday, it generates no separate observed date.
Is Halloween marked on the October 2028 calendar?
No. It appears in the observances list below the sheet, and its cell prints without a mark. Halloween is Tuesday, October 31, in 2028. It is not a federal holiday, so it is not drawn into a cell; the same rule keeps Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day out of their months' grids.
Can I print October 2028 as a coloring calendar?
Yes, and it is a popular month for it. The coloring layout compresses the date grid into the lower portion of the page and frames a blank panel above, keeping the dates usable while giving a child somewhere to draw. It uses the same computed dates and the same true page dimensions as the standard layout, and print scale still needs to stay on "Actual size".
