About President's Day

President's Day, also known as Washington's Birthday is a federal holiday in the US that celebrates the life of the first President of the US, George Washington. Although the day was originally in honour of George Washington, today, it's more widely recognised as a day to honour all US Presidents of the past, which is why it's commonly referred to as Presidents' Day.

Presidents' Day is a federal holiday in most states but not all of them. It's also up to the individual state whether they officially call the holiday Presidents' Day or Washington's Birthday and whether they celebrate in honour of George Washington or Washington and other presidents.

How to Celebrate Presidents Day

Unlike some other federal holidays, such as Independence Day, there are no traditions linked with celebrating Presidents' Day.

Whether you want to fly internationally or domestically within the US, if your employer does give you paid holiday for Presidents' Day, it's a great opportunity to take a break over the long weekend.
