Presidents Day

President’s Day observes the birthdays of George Washington (Feb 22nd) and Abraham Lincoln (Feb 12). With the adoption of the Monday Holiday Law (which moved the observance of George Washington’s birthday from Feb 22 to the third Monday in February), some of the specific significance of the event was lost and added impetus was given to the popular description of that holiday as President’s Day as a day to honor all former presidents of the US, though the federal holiday is still Washington’s Birthday. Annually, the third Monday in February.
