Is Presidents Day a federal holiday? Are the stock market, banks, post office open? What we know
We had Groundhog Day (not a federal holiday) at the beginning of February. Less than two weeks later, love was in the air on Valentine's Day (also not a federal holiday). Today is Presidents Day; is that a federal holiday? Will the mail come? Is the stock market open? Do you get a day off work? Here's what to know. The holiday is always celebrated on the third Monday of February to commemorate the birthday of George Washington, the first President of the United States, according to Almanac. Federal are closed today, and federal workers have a paid day off, according to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. The New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq and bond markets are closed for Presidents Day, writes Investor's Business Daily. No, banks and their branches will be closed, as banks follow the federal holiday schedule as well. Bank ATMs and digital banking features will still be in service. The post office follows the federal schedule and will not be open today, so you will not receive your regular mail or packages on Presidents Day, according to the U.S. Postal Service. USPS priority mail is the only service in operation. Other delivery services, such as FedEx and UPS, are operating on Presidents Day, though in different capacities. UPS will be open for business as usual, while FedEx has modified service with early on-call pickups and drop box pickups in some areas only. According to Jeff Pullin, COTA's director of public relations, COTA's transit service schedules in Columbus will remain in operation on Presidents Day. However, COTA's administrative offices will be closed. If 2025 is anything like 2024, Cincinnati's public ground transportation will operate on a normal weekday schedule. Will garbage trucks be running on Presidents Day 2025? There's a chance you won't have a service delay for the holiday. The City of Akron government website doesn't list Presidents Day as a holiday. Nearby Canton will also operate on a normal waste removal schedule. Conversely, the trash pickup calendars for both Cincinnati and Columbus show Presidents Day 2025 as a holiday. Have last-minute groceries to grab? According to the Kroger website, most Kroger locations will have normal hours on Presidents Day. Giant Eagle will be open on Presidents Day, according to Hours Guide. The next holiday that most U.S. workers will have a day off is Memorial Day, which falls on Monday, May 26.
