Bamberg County announces 2026 holiday closures for offices and courthouse
The next countywide shutdown is Labor Day on Sept. 7, and Bamberg County says Christmas holiday schedules can still shift under a governor's order.
Bamberg County Council folded the 2026 holiday schedule into the FY 2025-2026 budget, closing the Bamberg County Courthouse and Administrative Offices on eight listed holidays. The next countywide closure on the calendar is Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 7, 2026, with Christmas holiday schedules still subject to change if the governor issues an order.
The schedule lists New Year's Day, Thursday, Jan. 1; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Monday, Jan. 19; President's Day, Monday, Feb. 16; Good Friday, Friday, April 3; Memorial Day, Monday, May 25; Juneteenth Day, Friday, June 19; Independence Day, Friday, July 3; and Labor Day. For residents trying to pay taxes, file papers, handle clerk matters or complete other in-person county business, those dates mark the days to get ahead of before a closure interrupts a trip to town.
The county runs under a Council-Administrator form of government, with a professional public administrator serving as the administrative head of county government. The county website identifies Joey R. Preston as county administrator.
The main courthouse and administrative-office address is Bamberg County Courthouse Annex, Isaiah Odom Building, 1234 North Street, Bamberg, SC 29003, and the county's main phone number is (803) 245-5191. The Bamberg County Treasurer's Office drive-thru is open during normal office hours, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., except when the county is closed for a scheduled holiday.
