Washington's Birthday. There is no federal holiday called Presidents Day regardless of spelling.
One very interesting fact is that there actually is no federal holiday called Presidents' Day. In 1968 there was an act of Congress which moved the observance of most holidays to specific Mondays so people could have a three day weekends (Uniform Monday Holiday Act). At the same time, there was a proposal to rename the federal holiday of Washington's Birthday to Presidents' Day in order to honor both Washington and Lincoln, but that effort failed.Another interesting one is that there is no general consensus about how to spell the holiday. Different states have different spellings, and different publications adhere to different style guides. For instance, the Chicago Manual of Style says it should be Presidents' Day, and AP says there should be no apostrophe at all. To further complicate it, different stores have Presidents' Day sales, different ones spelling it President's, Presidents', and Presidents, often in the same states and confusing everyone. :)
It is spelled Presidents' Day.
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.
Presidents' Day was February 18 in 2008.
Presidents is plural and possessive, so the apostrophe goes at the end: Presidents' Day.
