How the date is set
This date is set by weekday rather than by day of the month, so it falls on a different date each year but always the same day of the week.
Not everything closes. Banks close, the post office closes, and the stock market trades as usual — which is why “is Columbus Day a bank holiday” is a question worth asking.
