Keep longer plans connected across months
For an event beginning at the end of October and finishing in November, preserve one full date range. Review the continuation in both months before printing. A monthly overview can show the important span while notes hold details that would otherwise crowd October’s final week.
Optional U.S. federal holidays
These entries come from the reviewed 2026–2028 U.S. federal collection. Holiday dates and observed dates stay separate when they differ. The collection does not describe every school, state, local or business schedule.
| Date | Holiday | Date role |
|---|---|---|
| October 12, 2026 | Columbus Day | Holiday and observed date |
Make the page useful on paper
Preview the whole sheet at the selected A4 or Letter size. Check the longest event label, the last date and any notes or legend. If the page is crowded, shorten supporting text or give the layout more space without changing the event dates.
Open this month in the editor before adding events. Choose the paper, orientation and week start on the same page, then download a fresh output after any change. Keep a JSON project backup if you want to revise the calendar later.
