The third federal holiday of 2025 is quickly approaching. Here’s what to know.

Now that New Year’s Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day have passed, there are 9 more days throughout 2025 designated as federal holidays. Here’s a rundown of each one and when it is:
-
Presidents’ Day: Monday, Feb. 17

During years in which a new president is inaugurated, there are typically 12 federal holidays for federal workers in the Washington D.C. area but since Inauguration Day and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day both fell on the same date in 2025 — Monday, Jan. 20 — they’ll have one fewer holiday this year than in some previous years.
Are banks open on federal holidays?
Banks generally close on the same days as the Federal Reserve, which follows the federal holiday schedule above in 2025, according to Business Insider. Online bank transactions also aren’t typically processed on federal holidays.
However, ATMs are often available for those who need to deposit or withdraw money on federal holidays.
