Columbus Day
Columbus Day marks the anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas on October 12, 1492.
Planning around October 2026
October is mid-autumn across most of the United States, with cooler weather, fall foliage in the northern states, and Halloween at the month's end — a popular celebration, though not a public holiday.
- Columbus Day is a federal holiday, but many states and employers do not observe it — confirm whether your workplace or school is actually closed.
- Halloween on October 31st is not a day off, but it often shapes evening schedules and local events.
