As Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples’ Day approaches, many are left wondering about the status of various services and institutions. While some businesses and government offices will remain open, others will close in observance of these two holidays. Federal institutions, such as post offices, will be closed for Columbus Day, while several states and cities have opted to recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day instead. Banks may have altered hours, and public transportation services may operate on holiday schedules. Individuals need to check with local authorities and businesses to determine what services are available on these days, as the observance of these holidays varies from place to place.
