Orthodox and Conservative Jews do not blow the shofar on Rosh Hashannah when Rosh Hashannah falls on a Saturday. This is to honor the Sabbath. However, both celebrate Rosh Hashannah as a two-day festival, so they blow the other day of the festival. Many Reform Jews only celebrate Rosh Hashannah as a one-day festival, but they aren't stringent about prohibited work on the Sabbath, so they blow the Shofar on Saturday.

Today, if Rosh Hashanah occurs on Shabbat the shofar is not used. 2) When the Temple still stood, sacrifices were offered on Rosh Hashanah (Numbers ch.29). 3) In ancient times, Rosh Hashanah was celebrated for only one day. For a technical reason involving the timely appearance of witnesses to testify concerning the new moon, the sages instituted the celebration of two days for Rosh Hashanah.
