Presidents Day, observed annually on the third Monday of February, is a federal holiday dedicated to honoring the leaders of the United States. Originally established to commemorate the birthday of George Washington, the nation’s first president born on February 22, 1732, the holiday has since evolved into a broader celebration recognizing all U.S. presidents.
