Presidents' Day facts and traditions
The federal holiday is officially named Washington's Birthday. George Washington was born on February 22, a date the holiday can never fall on.
Washington's Birthday has been a federal holiday since 1879 and was kept on February 22 until 1970. The Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968 moved it to the third Monday of February from 1971, and the day soon became known as Presidents' Day.
- Lincoln's Birthday, February 12, was never a federal holiday, but many states honor Lincoln on Presidents' Day too.
- Because it is always a Monday, it never falls on a weekend and is never moved for observance.
How the Presidents' Day countdown counts
The timer runs to midnight at the start of Presidents' Day in your own time zone: the hours, minutes and seconds left today, plus the full days after that. "Days until" counts calendar days, so tomorrow is always 1 day away and the count at the top is one more than the timer's full days. After the day has passed, the countdown moves on to next year by itself.
