February's third Monday is the federal closing Congress still titles Washington's Birthday. Stores, school districts, and this URL call it Presidents' Day. The clock finds that Monday on this device, then steps to next February after the local Monday closes. 2026 lands on February 16; 2027 lands on February 15. Washington's Gregorian birthday (February 22) and Lincoln's (February 12) are nearby history, not the observed weekend banks actually take. Share the same /days-until/presidents-day link in October; the third Monday updates itself.

FAQ

When is Presidents' Day?
The third Monday of February. In 2026 that is February 16; in 2027 it is February 15. After that Monday ends locally, we count to the next third Monday of February.
Is the official name Presidents' Day?
Federally it is still Washington's Birthday. Many states, schools, and retailers say Presidents' Day, sometimes to fold in Lincoln. The date rule here is the Monday, whatever the store banner reads.
Is it Washington's actual birthday?
Washington was born February 22 on the Gregorian calendar (February 11 Old Style). The Monday holiday rarely lands on the 22nd. A page aimed at February 22 is a birthday clock, not the federal observance.
Why might another site disagree?
February 12 (Lincoln) and February 22 (Washington) clocks will not match the observed Monday. We use the Uniform Monday Holiday Act date in this browser.
Why is it a Monday at all?
The Uniform Monday Holiday Act (effective 1971) moved Washington's Birthday to the third Monday of February to create a three-day weekend. Unique to this page: Lincoln never received a separate federal holiday, so the popular “Presidents' Day” label is a retail and state overlay on a statute that still names only Washington.
Do all states close?
Federal offices do. State worker holidays vary, and some states keep a separate Lincoln Day. This countdown is the federal Monday.
Should I count to February 12 or 22 instead?
Only if you want a birthday observance rather than the federal weekend. Those dates are real history and weak civil clocks. Keep this page on the third Monday so a shared link matches the day banks actually close. If a state also keeps a separate Lincoln Day, that is a second custom countdown, not a rewrite of this one.
Do car and mattress sales change the civil date?
No. Those promotions borrowed the weekend; they did not invent it. If a showroom extends a sale through Tuesday, that is inventory, not a holiday. Leave this slug on the third Monday so a shared link still matches the federal closing.
