Days Until Columbus Day / Indigenous Peoples' Day (reference)

About Columbus Day / Indigenous Peoples' Day (reference)

The second Monday in October is federally observed as Columbus Day in the US, commemorating Christopher Columbus's 1492 arrival in the Americas; a growing number of US states and cities instead observe the same date as Indigenous Peoples' Day, reflecting a genuine and ongoing shift in how the holiday is marked rather than a single settled national observance.

Its exact date shifts every year since it's a weekday-rule holiday; this page computes the real floating date.

Hawaii, South Dakota, and a growing list of other states and cities have replaced Columbus Day entirely with Indigenous Peoples' Day observances on the same date, rather than marking both simultaneously.

Berkeley, California became the first US city to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day in 1992, marking the 500th anniversary of Columbus's voyage with a reframing rather than a celebration.
