When Mother's Day (US) is
According to 36 U.S.C. 117, the second Sunday in May is Mother's Day in the US. It always falls between 8 and 14 May and, being a Sunday, is never a working day.
Why the date moves
The law ties it to a weekday, so the date moves each year within 8 to 14 May. UK Mother's Day, Mothering Sunday, is a different day, 3 weeks before Easter.
Public holidays before Mother's Day (US)
Between today and Sunday 9 May 2027, the England and Wales count takes off Christmas Day (25 Dec 2026), Boxing Day (28 Dec 2026), New Year’s Day (1 Jan 2027), Good Friday (26 Mar 2027), Easter Monday (29 Mar 2027) and Early May bank holiday (3 May 2027), and the US count takes off Columbus Day (12 Oct 2026), Veterans Day (11 Nov 2026), Thanksgiving Day (26 Nov 2026), Christmas Day (25 Dec 2026), New Year's Day (1 Jan 2027), Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. (18 Jan 2027) and Washington's Birthday (15 Feb 2027). Holidays that fall at a weekend are already out of the count.

Sources and assumptions
- Calendar days: the target date minus today. Working days: Monday to Friday from today up to the day before the target date, the way the Days Between Dates calculator counts them.
- UK working days take off England and Wales bank holidays from the GOV.UK feed, including substitute days. Scotland and Northern Ireland have different bank holidays.
- US working days take off federal holidays on the day they are observed under 5 U.S.C. 6103. States and employers can add their own holidays.
- 36 U.S.C. 117: Mother's Day
- GOV.UK: UK bank holidays (England and Wales)
- 5 U.S.C. 6103: US federal legal public holidays
