Columbus Day is the second Monday of October and is a US federal holiday, so federal offices and banks close. Many states and cities observe Indigenous Peoples’ Day on the same date instead, and several do not observe the day at all. Dates shown are for the United States.
The countdown at the top of this page is computed in your browser against your own clock, so it is accurate to the second and always targets the next Columbus Day — once October 12, 2026 passes it rolls straight on to October 11, 2027. The table below is a fixed reference: Columbus Day (US) is the second Monday of October, and because that is a rule rather than a fixed date, the calendar date moves every year.
Need the gap between two arbitrary dates instead — a birthday, a deadline, a lease end? The date difference calculator gives the exact years, months and days between any two dates, in either direction.
