Renaming Columbus Day Was Never the End Goal

Every year, my tribe-the Aquinnah Wampanoag-celebrates Cranberry Day on the second Tuesday in October. It's one of our most important gatherings, when the tribe comes together to pick wild cranberries in the bogs by the beach. Starting early in the morning, we spread out across the squelchy bogs, steadily filling buckets and baskets with the firm, red berries. I grew up away from our homelands on Martha's Vineyard, but my family always made a trip back to the island for Cranberry Day.

NYC's annual Columbus Day Parade set to return for 2025. See the route and road closures.

New York City's annual Columbus Day Parade marches through Manhattan on Monday, celebrating Italian pride. This year's parade may be impacted by a nor'easter that's bringing high winds and heavy rain Sunday into Monday. But as of now, the festivities are still on. Is Columbus Day a federal holiday? Yes. That means the U.S. Postal Service and most banks are closed. Under normal circumstances, federal workers have the day off with pay, but that may be impacted by the government shutdown.
