Columbus Day is a US holiday commemoration of that arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas on October 12, 1492. It is officially observed on the second Monday of October.
The federal holiday is celebrated annually on the second Monday of October which makes it October 12, 2026 this year.
It was first proclaimed as an annual federal holiday in 1937 by President Franklin D Roosevelt, and moved to the second Monday in October under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act in 1971.
Many Italian-American communities celebrate the day to honor their cultural heritage and the achievements of Columbus, who was a native of Genoa, Italy.
