Ohio residents should prepare for Inauguration Day and MLK Day on January 20, 2025, as both events will impact local services.
Wilmington: So, guess what? Inauguration Day is happening on January 20, 2025, and it’s the same day we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Pretty wild, right?
On Inauguration Day, the new president and vice president will be sworn in at the Capitol in D.C. It’s a big deal, with a procession and a speech from the president. But here’s the catch: it’s only a federal holiday for folks working in D.C. and some federal offices.
Now, about MLK Day. It’s celebrated on the third Monday of January, which this year happens to be the same day. This day honors Dr. King’s legacy and is the only federal holiday that encourages national service.
Since both days are federal holidays, federal offices will be closed. In Ohio, state offices will also shut down for MLK Day. So, don’t expect any mail delivery either; post offices will be closed.
If you’re wondering about shipping services, UPS won’t be operating, but FedEx will still be delivering. And banks? They’ll be closed too, but you can still use ATMs and online banking.
So, mark your calendars and plan ahead for January 20, 2025. It’s going to be a significant day for both events!
