What’s Open and Closed on Presidents’ Day in 2025
Presidents’ Day, a federal holiday that takes place every third Monday in February, is a day many Americans look forward to for a break, some shopping deals, or just a chance to relax. This year, Presidents’ Day falls on Monday, February 17, 2025. While it’s a time to honor the birthdays of two iconic American presidents—George Washington and Abraham Lincoln—the holiday also affects various services and businesses. If you’re planning to run errands or want to know if certain services are available, here’s what’s open and closed on Presidents’ Day.
First off, many financial services are taking the day off. The Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange will not be trading on Presidents’ Day, as it is considered a federal banking holiday. This means if you're looking to handle any stock market transactions or bond activities, you’ll have to wait until the following day when the markets resume regular operations. Similarly, most brick-and-mortar banks will be closed, but TD Bank branches will be open. Additionally, online banking and ATM services will still be accessible, so you can handle most of your banking needs remotely.

When it comes to shopping, you'll find most major retailers open, including Walmart, Target, Kroger, and Costco. It’s a great time for shoppers looking to take advantage of sales, as many stores offer discounts during the holiday. However, if you plan to visit a local business or dine out, it’s a good idea to check the hours with individual retailers or restaurants, as some may operate with adjusted schedules.
As for government offices, since Presidents’ Day is a federal holiday, nonessential agencies will be closed. This includes the DMV, city halls, and courthouses, meaning you won’t be able to conduct certain in-person government business on this day. Also, if you need to send mail, keep in mind that the U.S. Postal Service will not be delivering mail on Presidents’ Day. On the bright side, UPS will operate as usual, while FedEx will remain open, though with modified service.
For those who rely on public services or are hoping to take care of tasks on Presidents’ Day, keep in mind that while some services will be limited, many retail stores, banks, and some transportation services will still be available to ensure your needs are met. So, while it’s a day for honoring U.S. Presidents, it’s also an opportunity to grab a bargain, catch up on some errands, or simply relax and enjoy the day off.
