Presidents Day 2025; Celebrations and Closures

Presidents Day, a federal holiday observed on the third Monday of February, will fall on Feb. 17, 2025. Originally established to honor George Washington’s birthday, the holiday now also commemorates Abraham Lincoln and is widely recognized as a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents.

Government offices, including federal, state, and local agencies, will be closed on Presidents Day. This includes courthouses, the Department of Motor Vehicles, and public schools. The U.S. Postal Service will suspend regular mail delivery, though Priority Mail Express will still be delivered. Major shipping companies like FedEx and UPS will operate, though some services may have modified schedules.

Banks and the stock market will also be closed in observance of the holiday. However, ATMs and online banking services will remain available. Most retail stores, grocery stores, and restaurants will stay open, with many offering special Presidents Day sales. Fast-food chains and movie theaters will also operate as usual.

While the holiday is a time for relaxation and shopping, it remains a significant day to reflect on the contributions of the nation’s presidents. Nonessential federal employees will have the day off, and many Americans will take advantage of the long weekend to enjoy time at home or explore local attractions.
