Government offices, the stock market, and educational institutions will not be in session on Monday in recognition of Presidents Day; however, the majority of large retailers will remain operational.
If you’re uncertain, it’s best to contact stores directly or search online for their specific hours in your area. Below is a summary of what remains operational and what is not available on Presidents Day 2026: Federal and state government facilities will be closed.
In addition, courts and most educational institutions will be non-operational. This holiday is officially referred to as Washington’s Birthday, honoring the first President George Washington, but it is commonly called Presidents Day.
There have been discussions to also acknowledge President Abraham Lincoln since his birthday is close, occurring on February 12. U.S. stock exchanges and financial institutions will be closed on Monday but will resume operations on Tuesday.
The majority of large retail stores and various businesses will be open for customers. National parks will be accessible and free for U.S. citizens on Presidents Day.
The National Park Service declared late last year that access would no longer be complimentary on Martin Luther King Day and Juneteenth; instead, it will be free on June 14, which coincides with Flag Day and President Donald Trump's birthday.
Nevertheless, entry remains free on other holidays, including Presidents Day, Memorial Day, and the Independence Day weekend.
