Yes, the term President's Day (or Presidents' Day) is a proper noun when used for the name of a specifically designated day. The term 'presidents day, president's day, or presidents' day' is a common noun if it is not referring to a specifically designated day. Examples: We don't have to work on Presidents' Day. A president's day includes meeting representatives from around the world.
Presidents' Day (officially known as "Washington's Birthday", but also known as "President's Day" and "Presidents Day") commemorates the accomplishments of the various Presidents of the United States.It mostly honors presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
Grammatically, Presidents' Day is NOT correct. The correct spelling should have no apostrophes at all as the day does not BELONG to the presidents, therefore it is not possessive.

There is an apostrophe because it is more than one president we are celebrating for. edit: Nope... not it. More than one president does not necessitate an apostrophe. Would you say "the dog's ran by?" Maybe you would. It is the day of the presidents. The presidents possess the day, like Bill's sock, or Frank's car. But when you think about it, it should be Presidents' Day, since there is more than one president involved... vs. President's Day, which implies one president... hmmmm... mind boggling.
Presidents Day in 2012 is on Monday, February 20.
