January month events

In January 2026, the United States will celebrate New Year's Day with the famous Rose Parade and the NHL Winter Classic, which will be held outside in Miami this year. There are two federal holidays in the month: New Year's Day on January 1 and Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 19. The latter is a day for people to reflect on their lives and do community service. Las Vegas hosts the huge CES tech show at the beginning of the month, and New York City hosts Retail's Big Show from January 11 to 13, where industry leaders gather.

This month is especially busy for sports fans. The College Football Playoff National Championship will be held at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on January 19. The World Athletics Cross Country Championships in Tallahassee on January 10 and the Winter X Games in Aspen from January 23 to 25 are two other big sports events. The Sundance Film Festival, which runs from January 22 to February 1, is a big part of the culture this month. This year is especially important because it is the festival's last season in Park City, Utah, before it moves to Colorado.
