Many Americans enjoy a day off on the third Monday of February every year. That�s because it�s Presidents� Day, officially named Washington�s Birthday in honor of America�s first president, George Washington (his actual birthday is February 22).

The federal holiday has broadened to commemorate President Abraham Lincoln, who was born on February 12.

Presidents� Day is also marked by discounts and sales at a variety of different retailers.

Here�s what�s open and closed on the holiday in 2025.

– Post Offices & Mail Service � No regular U.S. mail delivery, and post offices will be closed.
