Today we celebrate Columbus Day & Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

Columbus Day originated in the late 1800’s as a celebration of Italian-American heritage. It was made a national holiday in 1937 and moved to the 2nd Monday of October in 1971. Today, the holiday commemorates the anniversary of Christopher Columbus's landing in the Americas on October 12, 1492.

Indigenous Peoples' Day recognizes and honors the history, culture, and perseverance of Indigenous peoples in the Americas. This is a day to celebrate their ongoing resilience, vibrant cultures, and significant contributions to society.
