How many days until Presidents' Day?
Presidents' Day is on Monday, February 15, 2027, which is 228 days away. The live countdown above ticks down to the exact moment, to the second.
Officially, it's Washington's Birthday
The federal holiday is still legally named Washington's Birthday; the Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968 moved it to the third Monday of February, and the broader 'Presidents' Day' name caught on from there.
A calendar quirk
Because the third Monday can only land between February 15 and 21, the holiday never actually falls on Washington's real birthday, February 22.
