What’s open and closed on Presidents Day 2025? Here’s what to know
Presidents Day is on Monday, Feb. 17, giving some employees and students the day off, while others will head in to work on the federal holiday.
Grocery stores, retail stores and restaurants will largely remain open on the holiday, but that will not be the case for banks, post offices, government offices and the stock market.
While the holiday is sometimes misunderstood as a celebration of the lives and birthdays of all U.S. presidents, that is actually not the case. The holiday was originally called Washington’s Birthday and celebrates the birthdays of former presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, according to the National Archives. It was also the first federal holiday to honor an individual’s birth date.

Monday, Feb. 17 is Presidents Day, a federal holiday to observe the birthdays of former presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
While the holiday is sometimes misunderstood as a celebration of the lives and birthdays of all U.S. presidents, the holiday was initially called Washington’s Birthday. It was the first federal holiday to honor an individual’s birth date.
Washington’s birthday, Feb. 22, was designated by Congress as a holiday for all federal workers in 1885. In 1971, the Uniform Monday Holiday Law changed the date to the third Monday in February, according to the National Archives. It adds that the position of the holiday between the birthdays of Washington and Lincoln, whose birthday is Feb. 12, gave rise to the popular name of Presidents Day.
