Columbus Day, Oct. 14, 2024 is a national holiday and day off for most government workers, but for most others it is a working day.  Some people and communities prefer  to call the day Indigenous People’s Day or Native Americans Day. Since Columbus was Italian, Columbus Day was a source of pride for many Italian Americans who faced discrimination when they first immigrated in large numbers to the United States. The name of several Columbus Day parades and other events in some locales have taken out Columbus’s name and replaced it with “Italian Heritage.” Several cities have changed the name of their Columbus Day Parade to Italian Heritage Day Parade.

Whatever you call the day, if you want to catch up on errands, you might be wondering whether Costco, Walmart, and Target will be open or closed for Columbus Day 2024.
