Presidents Day is another term used for the holiday celebrating George Washington’s birthday that is observed on the third Monday in February.
In 2024, Presidents Day falls on Monday, February 19.
Presidents Day is a government holiday which means that many schools and government offices are closed along with some private businesses.
Presidents Day originally came from the federal holiday for George Washington’s Birthday.
But after the observance was changed to the third Monday in February, the holiday has become to be known as “Presidents Day” to celebrate both Abraham Lincoln’s birthday and Washington’s birthday in most states.
However, the federal government has never officially changed the name from Washington’s Birthday to Presidents Day.
If you need to mail a letter or package on Presidents Day, Monday, February 18, 2024, you will have to wait until Tuesday.
That’s because Presidents Day is a federal holiday so United States Postal Service (USPS) post offices will be closed and mail will not be delivered on Monday, February 19, 2024.
