What is open and closed on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Inauguration Day?
- Martin Luther King Jr. Day is observed in the United States on the third Monday of January. This year coincides with the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump. Here is what to know about what businesses and services will remain open and which ones will take the day off.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day, observed on the third Monday of January, honors the civil rights leader with many services and institutions adjusting their operations. On this day, federal offices, including the DMV, libraries, and courts, are closed, as are most banks and post offices, with no mail delivery except for Priority Mail Express. However, retail, grocery stores, and restaurants generally remain open, though some might operate on reduced hours. Public transit might run on a holiday or weekend schedule, and while most schools are closed, some might have a teacher workday. Similarly, for Inauguration Day, which falls on January 20th every four years, federal offices, banks, and the stock market close, but retail and grocery stores typically stay open. The USPS does not deliver mail, except for Priority Mail Express, and while some private couriers like FedEx and UPS might operate, they could have modified services. Public transit schedules might also be altered for the day.
