Dia dos Presidentes 2025; Celebração e Comércio nos EUA

O aniversário de George Washington, comumente conhecido como Dia dos Presidentes, será observado em 17 de fevereiro de 2025 como um feriado federal. O dia homenageia o primeiro presidente dos EUA e evoluiu para uma mistura de reverência histórica e vendas no varejo. A maioria dos escritórios governamentais, escolas, bancos e o mercado de ações dos EUA estarão fechados, enquanto muitas empresas permanecerão abertas, oferecendo descontos significativos em itens como colchões, eletrodomésticos e eletrônicos.

O Serviço Postal dos EUA suspenderá a entrega regular de correspondência, embora o Priority Mail Express ainda funcionará. Grandes empresas de transporte como FedEx e UPS permanecerão abertas, com alguns ajustes nos serviços. Espera-se que supermercados e cadeias de fast-food permaneçam abertos, tornando o dia movimentado para serviços de entrega de alimentos.

Originalmente celebrado em 22 de fevereiro, o aniversário real de Washington, o feriado foi transferido para a terceira segunda-feira de fevereiro em 1971, sob o Uniform Monday Holiday Act. Essa mudança visava proporcionar mais fins de semana de três dias para os trabalhadores, embora também tenha gerado debates sobre o propósito do feriado. Embora o governo federal ainda o reconheça oficialmente como o Aniversário de Washington, muitos estados e anunciantes adotaram o rótulo mais amplo de “Dia dos Presidentes”, muitas vezes incluindo o aniversário de Abraham Lincoln nas celebrações.

A encarnação moderna do feriado reflete uma mistura de comemoração histórica e atividade comercial, com vendas e promoções dominando a experiência pública do dia.
