do we have columbus day off

Columbus Day is a federal holiday in the United States, observed on the second Monday of October, which in 2025 falls on October 13. Federal government offices are closed, and federal employees typically have the day off with pay. Many banks and the U.S. Postal Service are also closed for the holiday. However, observance varies by state and employer, with some states recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day instead or not offering a paid day off for Columbus Day at the state level. In general, if working in the federal government or some banks, one would have Columbus Day off as a paid holiday in 2025.
