October 2028 Calendar
Print an October 2028 calendar for the heart of autumn. October 2028 starts on a Sunday and ends on a Tuesday, so its 31 days fit in 5 week rows with a Sunday start (6 with a Monday start). Columbus Day, the month’s only US federal holiday, is Monday 9 October; Halloween falls on Tuesday 31 October; and Sukkot begins at sundown on Wednesday 4 October. There is no UK bank holiday in October 2028, but UK clocks go back on Sunday 29 October, a week before US daylight saving time ends on 5 November. Choose Classic, Bold, our own pumpkin-patch artwork, or a planner with goals, a to-do list and notes; add moon phases, week numbers and your own events such as school breaks or a Halloween party; download a PDF in US Letter, A4 or A3, a PNG or SVG, or a phone or desktop wallpaper.

Everything runs in your browser: nothing you type is uploaded, and your settings autosave only in this browser. Holidays: US federal days are calculated with their observed weekdays and named as on the US Office of Personnel Management schedules; US daylight saving time follows 15 U.S.C. §260a; UK bank holidays are the GOV.UK list for 2026–2028; Jewish holiday dates are from Hebcal; US Election Day (even years) follows 2 U.S.C. §7 and is marked as an observance, not a federal holiday. Moon phases are calculated in your browser and match the US Naval Observatory table within a minute for 2026–2028; solstice and equinox times are the US Naval Observatory’s for 2026–2028. PDF export uses jsPDF and svg2pdf.js (MIT licence); print at 100% (actual size).

Holidays and observances in October 2028
| Date | Day | Holiday | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 4 | Wednesday | Sukkot begins at sundown | Observance |
| Oct 9 | Monday | Columbus Day | Federal holiday |
| Oct 31 | Tuesday | Halloween | Observance |
UK sets: there is no bank holiday in October 2028 in England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. With Observances ticked they show Sukkot and the night the clocks go back.
Sources: the US Office of Personnel Management 2028 federal holiday schedule (holiday names as OPM gives them), Hebcal for Sukkot, GOV.UK for the bank holidays and the clock change, and the US Naval Observatory for moon phases.
Clocks change: UK first, US a week later
| Where | When | What happens | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| UK (all nations) | Sunday 29 October 2028, 2 am | Clocks go back 1 hour (BST to GMT) | GOV.UK |
| United States | Sunday 5 November 2028, 2 am | Daylight saving time ends | 15 U.S.C. §260a: first Sunday of November |
Between Sunday 29 October and Saturday 4 November 2028 the UK is on GMT while the US is still on daylight time, so London is 4 hours ahead of New York instead of the usual 5. Plan calls and online meetings that week with care.
