NEW YORK — 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 Feb. 22).
The federal holiday has broadened to commemorate President Abraham Lincoln, who was born on Feb. 12.
Presidents Day is also marked by discounts and sales at a variety of retailers.
This year, Presidents Day falls on Monday, Feb. 17. Here's what's open and closed on the holiday in 2025.
Financial services
Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange will not be trading Monday.
Since Presidents Day is a federal banking holiday, most brick-and-mortar branches of banks will be closed. However, TD Bank branches will be open Monday.
Online banking and ATM services will be available.
Retail
Most big box retailers and grocery stores will be open, such as Walmart, Target, Kroger and Costco. Make sure to check with local retailers and restaurants for their operating hours.
