The United States Postal Service (USPS) will conduct regular mail delivery and all Post Office locations will be open on Patriots' Day, Monday, April 21, 2025. Operations are unaffected because Patriots' Day is a state holiday, recognized in Massachusetts, Maine, and Wisconsin, but it is not a federal holiday that would result in the closure of federal services.
The distinction between state and federal holidays is the determining factor for postal operations. The USPS follows the schedule of holidays established by the federal government. While state-level government offices, schools, and some private businesses may be closed in observing states, federal entities continue their normal functions. Similarly, major private shipping carriers like FedEx, UPS, and DHL also maintain standard pickup and delivery schedules nationwide, as their operational calendars align with federal, not state-level, holidays.
Therefore, individuals and businesses can expect all postal and shipping services to operate on a normal schedule on April 21, 2025. There will be no interruption to the delivery or collection of mail and packages from the USPS or other major couriers due to the observance of Patriots' Day.
