President’s Weekend 2025, which falls on February 15th and 17th, is a federal holiday in the United States that celebrates the birthdays of two of the nation’s most revered presidents: George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. It is a time for Americans to reflect on the legacy of these great leaders and their contributions to the founding and preservation of the United States.
The holiday was first established in 1879 as a day to commemorate the birthday of George Washington, the first president of the United States. In 1968, the holiday was expanded to include Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest presidents in American history. President’s Weekend is now a time for Americans to celebrate the legacy of both of these great leaders and their contributions to the nation.
