Every third Monday in February, Americans celebrate President’s Day, a holiday dedicated to honoring the country’s past and present leaders. Originally established in 1885 to recognize George Washington’s birthday (February 22nd), the holiday later evolved to celebrate Abraham Lincoln (February 12th) and all U.S. presidents.

A Day of Reflection and Celebration

While some see President’s Day as just a long weekend or an opportunity for sales, it’s also a time to reflect on the leadership and contributions of those who have shaped the nation. Many states and schools use the occasion to educate about presidential history, and some communities hold parades and reenactments.
