Most government agencies will be closed in observance of Presidents Day, while many businesses will remain open or offer a modified schedule.
The federal holiday is celebrated in the United States on the third Monday in February. This year, Presidents Day falls on Monday, Feb. 17, 2025.
The holiday was originally created to commemorate President George Washington's birthday on Feb. 22, 1732. In 1971, the holiday was moved to the third Monday in February, which created a three-day weekend for many American workers.
