Every month of 2056 as a printable table, with public holidays, ISO week numbers and the year's eclipses, moon phases and meteor showers.
2056 has 366 days, starts on a Saturday, is a leap year, and runs to 52 ISO weeks. It runs from Saturday 1 January 2056 to Sunday 31 December 2056. There are 11 United States federal holidays in 2056, two of which fall at a weekend and are kept on a different day. Worth knowing: 1 January 2056 falls in week 52 of 2055, not in week 1 of 2056.

Wk ISO 8601 week number
Weeks start on Monday so that the week number in the left gutter applies to the
whole row. ISO 8601 defines week 1 as the week containing the first Thursday of
the year, which is why 2056 has 52 weeks and why 1 January is not always
in week 1.
Public holidays in 2056

Meteor showers
Peak nights drift by about a day between years, because the Earth meets each
stream at a fixed point in its orbit rather than on a fixed date. What
changes the view far more is the Moon, so we compute how much of it is lit
on the peak night of 2056.

2056 is a leap year, so February has 29 days. A year is a leap year when it divides by 4, except century years, which must also divide by 400. That is why 1900 was not a leap year and 2000 was.
Years you can reuse this calendar for
These years start on the same weekday and have the same February, so the grid
above is identical. A 2056 wall calendar hangs again, unchanged, in any of them.
Public holidays computed from statute, cross-checked against
Nager.Date for every year it covers. Astronomical
events computed with astronomy-engine. Week numbers follow ISO 8601. Times are UTC.
