About Columbus Day
Columbus Day marks the day Christopher Columbus landed in the Bahamas, October 12, 1492. Franklin Roosevelt made it a federal holiday in 1937, and it moved to the second Monday in October in 1971.
A growing number of states and cities observe Indigenous Peoples' Day instead of, or alongside, Columbus Day. Banks, federal offices and the post office close. The stock market stays open, and plenty of schools and stores do too. In Canada the same Monday is Thanksgiving.

How this is calculated
Each midnight takes one off the number. Today is left out and the day itself is counted, so tomorrow shows as 1 day away. Clock changes for daylight saving make no difference.
In Excel or Google Sheets, type =DATE(2027,10,11)-TODAY() into a cell to get the same count; add 1 to include today.
Counted from Friday, October 16, 2026 (US Eastern time). When you open the page, it counts again from the date on your device, so it matches your own day.
