Between Columbus Day and today there are 515 weekdays (Monday to Friday), 103 Saturdays and 103 Sundays.

The quarter mark of the range is Saturday, April 12, 2025, the halfway point is Thursday, October 9, 2025, and the three-quarter mark is Tuesday, April 7, 2026. Columbus Day sits 78.7% of the way through 2024. There are 103 Fridays in the range, which is handy if your deadlines or deliveries land at the end of the week."]],["About Columbus Day",["A U.S. federal holiday observed on the second Monday of October.

If you are planning a stretch of several weeks, it helps to know where the next break or deadline falls so you can space out your commitments."]],["Using this fortnight counter",["A fortnight is fourteen days.
