Presidents Day 2022: What is closed? What is open? And what are we celebrating?

This Monday (Feb. 21) is Presidents Day, which is a federal holiday and means some businesses and offices will be closed.

Presidents Day, first observed in 1971, came out of Washington's Birthday, which is actually Feb. 22.

But Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act in 1968 to create a holiday on the third Monday of February, as well as move Memorial Day, Veterans Day and Columbus Day all to Mondays to give federal workers more three-day holidays.

Some states and agencies still call this day Washington's Birthday, since the law did not officially change the third Monday of February to Presidents Day. For instance, the National Weather Service and the Federal Reserve System continue to refer to the date as Washington's Birthday.

HISTORY OF THE HOLIDAY:Who does Presidents Day honor?

The U.S. Postal Service will not deliver residential or business mail and post offices will be closed on Presidents Day, Monday, Feb. 21, which is a federal holiday. Here USPS carrier John Graham is on the job in Portland, Maine, on July 14, 2021.

So, what is closed on Presidents Day?

Many schools will be closed for the federal holiday. However, most restaurants and businesses will be open – especially since Presidents Day has become such a day for sales promotions.
