What is closed on Monday for the holiday?

It's Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples Day — and that means some places will remain closed Monday, even as many doors remain open in North Texas.

Columbus Day was first recognized as a national holiday by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1934, while Indigenous Peoples Day was first recognized by President Joe Biden in 2021.

This isn't the type of holiday that impacts operating hours like Thanksgiving or Christmas, but there are some changes. Here are some of the sights for Monday:

Post Office

All U.S. Postal Service retail locations are closed and no residential or business mail will be delivered due to the Columbus Day holiday.

Banks

The holiday impacts financial institutions in different ways. For example, Chase branches will remain open, while Bank of America and Wells Fargo will remain closed on Monday.

Since there is a longer list of banks and credit unions in North Texas, it may be best to check with your local branch.

However, the New York Stock Exchange and other investment platforms are open and operational on Monday.

City of Dallas, Texas

City of Dallas offices will be closed Monday for Indigenous Peoples Day. These include municipal courts, libraries, and parks and recreation areas. Dallas Animal Services remains open.

Texas recognizes Indigenous Peoples Day, but it is not an official holiday for state employees, so state offices remain open.

Federal Government

Columbus Day is one of eleven federal holidays recognized nationwide by the U.S. government. All non-essential offices are closed.

shops

Retailers like Walmart and Target will remain open Monday. Malls like NorthPark Center in Dallas and Stonebriar Center in Frisco also welcome locals.
