Presidents Day, observed on the third Monday of February, honored all U.S. presidents, originally established to celebrate George Washington’s birthday. In 2026, it fell on February 16, leading to closures of government offices, banks, and postal services. The holiday’s official name remains Washington’s Birthday, though it evolved to recognize all commanders-in-chief.
