November 2027 has 30 days, running Monday, November 1 through Tuesday, November 30. It carries two federal holidays — Veterans Day on Thursday, November 11 and Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 25 — and 20 working days.
Every one of the month’s four primary moon phases falls on a Saturday: November 6, 13, 20 and 27.
This happens when the first phase lands on a Saturday and the roughly seven-day quarter intervals hold their alignment across the whole month, which is rare enough to be worth noting.
Daylight saving time also ends on Sunday, November 7, making that a 25-hour day.

Veterans Day and Thanksgiving are the two federal holidays in November 2027 (U.S. Office of Personnel Management).
Veterans Day is fixed to November 11 and falls on a Thursday in 2027, so no weekend observance rule applies.
Neither Veterans Day nor Black Friday gives a long weekend
November 11, 2027 is a Thursday. Because Veterans Day is fixed to a date rather than a Monday, it produces a long weekend only when November 11 falls near one.
In 2027 it does not, leaving Friday, November 12 as a normal working day.
Black Friday, Friday, November 26, is not a federal holiday either. Federal offices and banks are open.
Several states observe the day after Thanksgiving as a state holiday and many private employers grant it, but neither is a federal entitlement.
The stock exchanges trade a half session ending at 1:00 p.m. Eastern.

Veterans Day is one of only two federal holidays in the year where the stock exchanges trade while the bond market closes, and where the postal service suspends delivery while UPS and FedEx run. Columbus Day is the other.
Events in November 2027
Month-long observances running through all of November 2027:
- Native American Heritage Month, by presidential proclamation since 1990
- National Diabetes Month
- National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month
- National Family Caregivers Month
- Movember, the men’s health campaign
Election Day falls on Tuesday, November 2, 2027, set by federal law as the Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
It is not a federal holiday, so federal offices remain open. More than a dozen states treat it as a state holiday or require paid time off to vote; most do not.

Key Observance Details
- Western Christian Liturgy: November bridges the close of Ordinary Time with the start of the liturgical year. It begins with honoring the faithful departed (All Saints’ and All Souls’) and ends as the season of Advent begins on Sunday, November 28.
- Guru Nanak Jayanti (Nov 14): Celebrates the birth of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, observed on the full moon day (Kartik Purnima) with continuous 48-hour readings of the Guru Granth Sahib (Akhand Path) and community processions.
- Twin Holy Birthdays (Nov 12–13): The Baháʼí community marks the births of the two central figures of the faith, celebrated back-to-back according to the solar/lunar coordination of the Badíʻ calendar.
- Thanksgiving & Holiday Season (Nov 25–28): In the United States, Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday kicks off the secular winter holiday season, immediately followed by Black Friday and the first lighting of Advent candles.
Daylight saving time ends November 7, 2027
Daylight saving time ends at 2:00 a.m. local time on Sunday, November 7, 2027. Clocks move back one hour to 1:00 a.m. under 15 U.S.C. 260a as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
Sunday, November 7 therefore contains 25 hours in observing states. Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe daylight saving time; the Navajo Nation, which extends into Arizona, does.
How many days, weeks and working days in November 2027
November 2027 has 30 days, 4 full weeks plus 2 days, 22 weekdays, and 20 working days after both federal holidays are removed.
The calculation:
- November always has 30 days.
- 30 ÷ 7 gives 4 complete weeks with 2 days remaining.
- Eight of the 30 days fall on a Saturday or Sunday, leaving 22 Monday-to-Friday weekdays.
- Veterans Day, Thursday, November 11, and Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 25, are both weekdays, so 22 − 2 = 20 working days.
Employers that also close on Black Friday, November 26, count 19.
November 2027 calendar weekday counts
| Weekday | Occurrences |
|---|---|
| Monday | 5 |
| Tuesday | 5 |
| Wednesday | 4 |
| Thursday | 4 |
| Friday | 4 |

Four Thursdays, which means the fourth Thursday and the last Thursday of November 2027 are the same day. In years with five Thursdays the two rules diverge, and the statutory fourth-Thursday rule governs.
November 2027 calendar week numbers and day-of-year positions
November 2027 spans ISO weeks 44 through 48. November 1 is day 305 of 2027 and November 30 is day 334, leaving 31 days in the year after the month ends.
November 2027 moon phases
Daylight saving time ends on Sunday, November 7, so the first phase is on daylight time and the remainder on standard time.
| Phase | Date | Time |
|---|---|---|
| First Quarter | Saturday, November 6 | 3:59 a.m. EDT |
| Full Moon — Beaver Moon | Saturday, November 13 | 10:25 p.m. EST |
| Last Quarter | Saturday, November 20 | 7:48 p.m. EST |
| New Moon | Saturday, November 27 | 10:24 p.m. EST |
All four primary phases fall on a Saturday, at exactly seven-day intervals across the month.
The synodic month runs about 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes, so consecutive quarter phases sit roughly 7 days 9 hours apart — close enough to the calendar week that a full month can hold the alignment before it drifts.
The Beaver Moon peaks at 10:25 p.m. EST on Saturday, November 13, well after dark across the continental United States, which makes it one of the better-timed full moons of the year for viewing.
Frequently asked questions
How many working days are in November 2027?
20, on a Monday-to-Friday schedule observing both federal holidays. The month has 22 weekdays. Veterans Day on Thursday, November 11 and Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 25 are both subtracted. Employers closing for Black Friday count 19.
Is there a long weekend for Veterans Day 2027?
No. November 11, 2027 falls on a Thursday and Friday, November 12 is a normal working day. Veterans Day is fixed to November 11 rather than to a Monday, so it produces a three-day weekend only when the date lands near one.
When does daylight saving time end in 2027?
Sunday, November 7, 2027 at 2:00 a.m. local time, when clocks move back one hour. That Sunday contains 25 hours in every state that observes daylight saving time.
