Let’s start with the history of Presidents’ Day
The history of the Presidents’ Day holiday starts with George Washington, the first president of the United States of America. So, when is President’s Day weekend? This significant political leader passed away in 1799 and ever since then his birthday on February 22nd has been celebrated by Americans as a day of remembrance.
A day just for presidents? Weekend getaways for all is our motto!
However, thanks to the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, the celebration’s date changed in order to use Mondays as a public holiday, and not just a presidents weekend. This, in turn, has given American workers across the country the opportunity to have more three-day weekends (which is also the perfect amount of time for glamping on Presidents’ Day Weekend).
Presidents’ Day meaning and significance
America’s Presidents’ Day meaning today is more universally inclusive of all the presidents of the United States of America and of course, their achievements during their terms served. Initially, many believed that the reason to change the date from February 22nd to the third Monday of February (generally the 17th) was to also pay respect to Abraham Lincoln (this new date was now between both his and Washington’s birthday).
However, while Washington and Lincoln remain the most recognized figures of the Presidents’ Day celebration, it now more commonly pays homage to all of America’s past leaders.

While some states will hold an annual Presidents’ Day Parade such as the Willow Wineries parade in Pennsylvania, the main attraction of a President’s Day Weekend is, of course, the prospect of a three-day weekend.

Stay in a rustic cabin somewhere surrounded by wildlife and immerse yourself in nature!
