Full list of US 2025 federal holidays

Today marks another holiday in the U.S. — Indigenous Peoples' Day.

Indigenous Peoples' Day, which is celebrated as an alternative to Columbus Day, is typically observed on the second Monday in October. This year, it will take place on Monday, October 13, 2025.

Columbus Day became a federal holiday in 1937 after an effort by Roman Catholic Italian Americans, who were at the time members of a particularly stigmatized ethnic and religious group. Members of the group campaigned to make Columbus Day a holiday in order to establish Columbus, a Catholic Italian, as an important and central figure in American history.

However, there has been increasing recognition that the American narrative has served to only marginalize Indigenous peoples, whose communities were negatively impacted by colonization. So, instead, Indigenous Peoples’ Day highlights the brutal history of the man, and his treatment of the Indigenous people he found already living in the Americas when he arrived.

In 2021, former U.S. President Joe Biden issued the first-ever presidential proclamation of Indigenous Peoples’ Day. He said in a statement that the day is meant to “honor America’s first inhabitants and the Tribal Nations that continue to thrive today

Although Indigenous Peoples’ Day is not a federal holiday, Columbus Day is, and they both fall on the same day. This means all banks will be closed on Monday, October 13 1. Online banking and ATMs will be accessible.

The stock market and the United States Postal Service will also be closed.

However, the holiday doesn’t guarantee that all workers around the U.S. will get the day off. It is up to individual employers to decide whether they offer time off or additional pay for work on federal holidays.
