This federal holiday honors every U.S. president and marks the birthday festivities of iconic figures like Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. Whether you’re planning a day of relaxation or some family fun, here’s everything you need to know about closures and services.
Office Closures and Holiday Observance
Mark your calendars! On Presidents Day, many businesses and organizations across the city will be taking a break. All levels of government offices — from federal to state to city — will be closed. This means if you had any appointments or errands to run at these locations, you might want to reschedule.
Along with government offices, several San Antonio schools will also be closed for the day. If you have students in the house, they will enjoy an extra day off!
Grocers Keep Their Doors Open
On a more positive note for those last-minute shopping needs, many major grocery stores in San Antonio will remain open on Presidents Day. So if you’re looking to whip up a delicious meal or stock up on snacks for a movie night, you’re in luck! Just check with your local grocer’s hours before heading out to make sure they’re ready for you.
Banking and Postal Services
While some services are taking a holiday, remember that most banks and credit unions will be closed. This is a good time to plan any finances for the week ahead! On the other hand, the U.S. Postal Service will also be down for the day. Expect no regular mail deliveries, although if you’ve sent a Priority Mail Express, you can breathe easy knowing it’ll still arrive on time.
Open for Business: Courts and Libraries
If you need to settle a legal issue, you’ll be glad to know that both municipal and magistrate courts will be open on Presidents Day. Also, if you are looking to check out a book or dive into a new read, the San Antonio Public Library will operate during regular hours. So grab that novel you’ve been meaning to read!
What About Emergency Services?
Emergency services including police, firefighters, and medical emergency personnel will be available as always by calling 911. If you run into any issues with your utilities, you can reach out to CPS Energy at 210-353-4357 or SAWS at 210-704-7297. They’ll be right there to help you out!
Trash and Recycling Collection
No need to worry about your weekly disposal as well! Curbside pickup for garbage, recycling, and brush recycling will operate just as it does every week. Additionally, both bulky/hazardous waste centers and brush recycling centers will be open for those who need it.
Public Transport Updates
For those relying on public transport, VIA will be running its regular schedule on Presidents Day. So if you’re planning a trip into town, you’re covered! It’s always great to show the city some love while getting around.
