When is President’s Day 2025? Here’s everything U.S. citizens should know.

Dating back to 1885, this traditional day now takes place on the third Monday of February, thanks to a 1968 law designed to give workers a longer break.

The next federal holiday in the U.S. is Presidents' Day, which will be observed on February 17. This day is meant to honor the country's leaders, particularly George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. In addition to its historical significance, it also provides many Americans with a well-deserved extended weekend.

Known as Washington’s birthday, this celebration was observed on February 22, but in 1968 the Uniform Monday Holiday Act changed it to the third Monday of the mentioned month. This adjustment also honored Abraham Lincoln, born on February 12, and other significant leaders of the country.

What is the reason behind President’s Day Celebration?

President’s Day traces its origins back to George Washington’s birthday, the first President of the United States. However, in 1968, the Uniform Monday Holiday Act moved it to the third Monday of February, allowing workers a long weekend. Over time, the holiday evolved, and now it’s a time to celebrate all U.S. presidents and reflect on their impact on the nation.

Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming U.S. Holidays in 2025

After President’s Day, the next federal holiday in the U.S. is Memorial Day, celebrated on May 26. This day honors U.S. military personnel who have died in service. Following that, Juneteenth is observed on June 19, celebrating the emancipation of slaves. The year’s most iconic holiday, Independence Day, takes place on July 4.

Also, the Veterans Day is commemorated on November 11, honoring all U.S. military fighters who have served in the armed forces. Originally known as Armistice Day, it marks the end of World War I and recognizes the contributions of all soldiers who have served to protect the country’s freedoms.

Do all U.S. workers get these Federal Holidays off?

Employers, on the other hand, should clearly communicate their holiday policies and consider their impact on morale and productivity. Some companies offer paid time off, while others may require work on these holidays, providing additional compensation or time off later.
