📣 Traveler notes
The United States is geographically diverse, featuring major cities (e.g., Manhattan, Chicago), vast natural areas, national parks (e.g., Yellowstone, Alaska), canyonlands, and coastal regions.
- Federal offices (e.g., post offices, banks) typically close on federal holidays.
- Private businesses may vary their hours or remain open.
- If a holiday falls on a weekend, the observance is usually shifted to the nearest weekday.
- Expect increased crowds and activity during the period between Thanksgiving and January 1.
- Wait until everyone is served before eating. For private meals, consider bringing a small, non-food gift for the host. When dining out, asking for leftovers to go is standard. For potlucks, inquire with the host about suitable dishes.
About this holiday
Presidents' Day is a federal holiday in the United States, observed on the third Monday of February. Although sometimes associated with all U.S. presidents, the holiday officially recognizes George Washington, the nation's first president (1789-1797), and his role in American history.
