is presidents day a federal holiday

Government agencies, federal workers and most public schools, colleges and universities typically take time off for Presidents' Day.

WASHINGTON — Monday is Presidents' Day, which celebrates George Washington and other former presidents throughout U.S. history. Because it's a federal holiday, many government offices and other institutions are closed until Tuesday.

Federal employees in the Washington, DC, area are entitled to a holiday on the day a President is inaugurated on January 20th for each fourth year after 1965

All non-essential federal offices close every year for Presidents Day. This includes the U.S. Post Office, libraries, banks, schools and the stock market, as well as any other government office deemed non-essential.
